“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.

@BrentToderian In my state of Missouri, the governor and legislature proudly signed laws making it a penalized crime for people experiencing homelessness to camp on public property. Also, outlawed cities allocating state funds to permanent housing for the unsheltered, and instead requires us to focus *only* on temporary crisis shelter. Its inhuman but gerrymandered districts guarantee the right will have its way, even tho they are now outnumbered.
