Homelessness is a difficult term as it tries to encompass a messy, complicated, difficult problem. In my local community we found it wasn’t people lacking dwellings but people lacking access to psychiatric care. For the most part, they had homes. Residents kept assuming these folks lacked homes while what they needed was proper care to keep the demons at bay. Unfortunately we have both a lack of open housing and a lack of available psychological & psychiatric care in my small town.
City Council held a meeting in the past two weeks. Corrective action might happen some day.
Appreciate the view from home. Housing and mental health supply are core to Finland's solution. And their lack here comes from similar forces that I will call Trumpism.
As a Finn I was moved and proud that the housing first was highlighted and made visible in this way! So much in that video I did not even no about. It's about humanity and dignity.

You nailed it. Thank you!
