There is a clear connection between housing costs and rate of homelessness.

This country has an inadequate supply of housing nationwide. We have generally been under building housing for decades, then we act like our homeless population is just a bunch of "junkies and crazies."

When I say "we don't need to worry about them," I mean the existence of people who are homeless by choice should not be an excuse to keep not building adequate housing and justify punishing those who do want housing on the excuse that "some of y'all losers don't even want housing."

I spent nearly six years homeless. I've studied this problem space. I am actively developing information resources and best practices.

"Build more housing -- especially stuff like Missing Middle Housing" is the short answer to a large part of this.

Healthcare availability is another factor that makes a difference and help connecting to earned income that works for them in spite of handicaps and so forth. Earning money online is part of how I made progress on my issues and got myself back into housing.
