Housing first
#5
The problem is, many people, now matter how much they may protest it, are more concerned with ensuring people they view as "lazy" or "flawed" or "bad" get "what they deserve" (by their definition).

This is how we get people who honestly believe the best policy to "help" the homeless is to not help them, as this "encourages" them too do something else.

It's a core identity issue, people see what they have as something they have earned (no matter how much help they actually got from society and privileges), if people were to get something they have without earning it, for some people, this threatens their identity.

That is the belief we must get past.
