Funny, this guy protests that he wasn't asked to return after saying they needed specific metrics and measurable results, but doesn't provide any metrics or results for alternatives to Housing First-- which does actually have studies.

He also talks about how he has witnessed the rise of homelessness and scoffs at the notion that the economic system (capitalism) is squeezing people into losing their homes, but provides no alternative system-wide issue.

There are plenty of capitalist societies without any homeless. Maybe it's the inadequate social safety net after all.

Sure! That could definitely be true. I'm just pointing out the essay is lacking in real alternatives to what the essay is critiquing.

What societies currently have zero homeless? Looking at western nations I can’t find a single country “without homelessness.”

[jupp0r]

Singapore has very few homeless people. Most countries in Europe have almost no homeless population. It's not zero, but it's low enough that it is not a big problem compared to the US.
