    Housing First in London UK 🇬🇧 Southwark is absolutely works and worked for me, a resettlement program took from Street homeless to initially having a flat for the first time, a massive thank you to Housing First.

    Housing First is a humane starting point for a society to help the sick, poor, and less fortunate.

    people can focus on other things in their life that need attention if they don't have to worry about where they are going to sleep, straight up facts.
    The billionaires in the US can straight up end homelessness, but they would rather chase each other to space

    Housing first is a good idea but in practise the government just counts the number of people placed in homes without looking at outcome if the person really progresses. And homelessness are not really interested in getting their life in order and are not willing to get better of get a job. I dont intend to know all about this, please let me know your opinion.

    That doesn't count the people or families living with family members or friends. Those numbers he gave are way off.

    I’m sorry housing first is not the solution. Seems like everyone needs a community, constantly learning new skills, as well as emotional void and healing from trauma sometimes too complicated for the majority of therapists.
    That means some people unfortunately need help finding something meaningful giving them future hope can be as simple as learning to cook or relearning everything, sometimes to heal of trauma so complex or as simple as integrating in community activities leaving a person in need with an endless wealth of possibilities easily overwhelming may need to start from the perspective of a child discovering themselves.
    Now is a good time to ask how many people are currently housed aimless n hopeless living in traumatic pain needing intensive care unable to learn new skills, housing alone will not end homelessness unless we can address the many complexities of society facing those already housed.
    While countless are struggling to remain in the housed in community on the verge of homelessness without meaning, trauma free, unable to learn new skills, and the homeless like the housed both need a different look at how society provides social services to heal of the most complex trauma, appropriately fill the emotional void, learning new skills sometimes relearning everything including reintegration in community activities.

    Sorry… He’s wrong. There are many barriers to housing “first.”
    Housing first rejects many for not being homeless long enough, wrong type of homeless, even being too traumatized the wrong type of traumatized and not asking long n hard enough or not asking the right way to qualify for housing first.
