Not in my backyard. Also; not in my town; not in my city; not in my district; not in my county; not in my state; not in my country.
This whole place is going to hell.
We have a similar program in my city, but unfortunately the scale of the problem is just too big at this point, and too wrapped up in a parallel mental health crisis to be solved by housing alone. A lot of these people basically need something closer to assisted living or a halfway to get back into any kind of normal routine. The US needed these programs 40 years ago.
Now if only we could solve the problem of self righteousness, there would be peace on earth.
The problem with making an addict choose between a roof an heroin, is they already know they can live without the roof.
Don't know how Finland does it exactly. But here in Germany the rent would be paid directly by the city to the landlord. The addict would not have any real way to get to the money, because he is not involved in this process. But there aren't enough appartments, so despite that we also have homlesness here (not at a USA level though).
