During the past decade, federal homelessness policies have failed to stem
the growing desperation among America’s homeless, and by most metrics, it appears to have only added to their suffering.
This is largely because federal policies are focused on the Housing First strategy. Housing First policies give individuals taxpayer-funded housing benefits without any requirements for participation in mental health,
substance abuse, and other stability programs.
THE SOLUTION
States should create pressure in key areas and leverage funding to de- emphasize Housing First programs and instead foster innovative state-level approaches to homelessness alleviation.
Specific solutions include:
States should also:
Expand and improve short-term housing
Create accountability for long-term housing
Respond to crime
Improve data and performance measures
WHY IT MATTERS
Two decades of failed Housing First models have plunged our communities
and homeless residents deeper into despair.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
States must reassert their autonomy over homelessness policies and
incentivize communities to reject Housing First in favor of programs that
have long-term benefits that help individuals rebuild their lives.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.
Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
