Doesn’t Finland have socialized medicine? We don’t have that in the US. So anyone in an addiction or mental health crisis has to jump through hoops to get help. A large percentage of our homeless are schizophrenics and addicts. It’s a sad sad state of affairs.

Access to mental health and addiction services is an important part, yes. Both are important and both help homeless people. I'd say Housing First is more important, since you need a stable living situation in order to stabilize the rest of your life.

I'm an advocate for both Housing First and Socialized Medicine
