Such a hateful policy: “President Donald Trump’s new executive order … called ‘Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets,’ attempts to defund ‘housing first’ and ‘harm reduction’ approaches to homelessness. Both strategies have played heavily in Mayor Mike Johnston’s housing efforts in Denver, and many researchers say they are backed by evidence.”

“The National Homelessness Law Center called the action ‘misguided at best, and counterproductive and dangerous at worst,’ noting that forced treatment is ‘unethical, ineffective, and illegal.’

Coupled with the Supreme Court’s decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson, the order further encourages punitive measures against homeless people that advocates say don’t address the root causes of the crisis.”

@MorpheusB Canadian study finds Housing First works better than Treatment First — meaning giving people a home before tackling addiction or mental illness leads to better outcomes.
Australia take note.
We’re spending billions criminalising homelessness and funnelling people through courts, hospitals and shelters — instead of just housing them.
Housing is a human right, not a reward for sobriety or compliance.

The pretence that it’s actually about space is such a transparent lie. Homeless people create homes all over, wherever they can: in back alleys, squatting in buildings, in parks, on sidewalks, in transit stations.

Then their homes are pulled apart, thrown away, carefully gathered necessities and treasures broken, stolen, discarded *just* like the people are.

The truth is very simple: to most in our society they just don’t count as people.

@tazgetroete Daran ist so viel verkehrt: „Die dramatische Zunahme obdachloser, psychisch erkrankter Menschen spiegelt ein gesellschaftliches Problem und ein politisches Versagen. In manchen Berliner Kliniken werden bis zu 50 Prozent der Pa­ti­en­t*in­nen in die Obdachlosigkeit entlassen. … Psychiatrische Akutstationen quellen über, finden keinen Ort, wohin die Entlassenen gehen können. Vor allem aber fehlt Wohnraum.“ #housingfirst

Endlich ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung.

(Und da bei solchen Verlinkungen gern entsprechende Kommentare folgen, weshalb das eigentlich nichts Positives ist, warum ich „sowas“ verlinke, denn das ist ja gar nicht direkt die 150%-ige Lösung und überhaupt: Spart‘s euch. Schont eure und meine Nerven.)

Finland's Housing First push to end homelessness works, saves the country millions in resources to "deal" with homeless people, and IT'S NOT CRUEL. Also: Housing First means access to other resources once people have stable living situations
