Its a fair criticism to say that this is only likely to be accurate for a specific, narrowly defined portion of the homeless population. It would be silly to write it off because of that, though. Perfect being the enemy of good and all that, it remains a simple way to help a large amount of people.


Agreed

The severe drug addicts need a different kind of help, which we should also provide if whatever city has the resources to do so

I think sometimes there's a resistance to segmenting the homeless folk in a way that is counter productive and it's a bummer

So i guess my tldr is:
This is a good unsurprising result
I dont think we should sweep the screening restrictions under the rug, but recognize that its ok to help those who can be helped this way and spend money differently for people who cant
