“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.
@BrentToderian That's pretty cool. I'm glad it works there, but I doubt the results would be similar in Colorado. This is a local organization that my church supports and has a good success rate. It is expensive(both time and $) to get people back on their feet, but totally worthwhile.

I wish our taxes were allocated to programs proven to be successful.
