Marin’s Homeward Bound organization gets folks off streets, cars, tents and couches and into transitional shelters with services so they can move towards permanent housing. First things first: No one gets more sane or healthy while on the street. It’s a slow slog but their outcomes appear strong. And, they’re building or converting housing all over the county so formerly homeless are not boxed into non-NIMBY areas.
Excellent discussion. 50 years ago my wife, 1 1/2 year old son and I lived a year without a house. We were grateful whenever we could find shelter with a roof, body cleaning space, maybe a floor or couch or cot day by day. Got us through till one of the applications I had put in got me in the door to employment with a full time position. So, I’m with those who see houselessness as a temporary bridge not a destination for placement in free housing which honestly will never happen.

I suggest you review the Coalition's 990 tax filings for the past 5 years. "Interesting" numbers on Part IX, line 7.
