In Utah, of all places, they gave the homeless free homes because it was cheaper than relying on social assisted housing and support. Although it hasn't resulted in a meaningful transition up the housing chain (and opening spots up down the chain), it has reduced homelessness by a considerable amount.
I suppose there's a fine line, because we all know there's individuals who need help and there's some who joke about the system and how they can still live there lives and afford beer, smokes, food, etc. How do I know? Go to the Beer Store on Barton and wait in line and over here the chatter.
Not sure were any closer to solving the problems, but identifying people who want help is relatively important versus people who do not care.
