    Yeah, also when you throw in drug addiction. Housing-first really runs into issues with people who have destructive tendencies due to addiction or illness.

      The track record of Housing First already includes people with drug addictions - it’s been tested in real-world conditions versus existing strategies. This might sound counterintuitive, but “strings attached” only makes it worse.
