Housing First helped me in such a big way, and initially and significantly Housing First absolutely and phenomenally works, straight from street homeless into a hostel then on to my very first home. This is from London UK 🇬🇧 Thank you Housing First.
This guy INVENTED Housing First! A legend. This model will change homelessness and how we support homeless folks forever. Even when this model evolves and expands, Sam will be the one who took us on that new trajectory. So amazing.
"It's often the case when we see a person with multiple problems the inclination for us both on a personal level but also on a policy level is to hold them accountable for their suffering."
"The only thing I’ve ever seen that really worked in terms of reducing the number of people on the street was the Housing First policy,” said Glenn Bailey, who directs Crossroads Urban Center, a Salt Lake City food pantry.
One of those who benefited from Housing First was Steve Rader. Addicted to methamphetamine he slept outdoors and bounced between homeless shelters across Utah for 16 years until he was settled in 2011 in Palmer Court, an apartment building in the heart of Salt Lake City that opened in 2009.
Do The money addicted gentrifiers have a time frame for when rents will be ten to twenty grand a month? And will that be enough to satisfy their addiction to money?
In California homelessness is driven in part by the high cost of housing in coastal cities due to demand issues (so many people want to live there). And affordable housing in SF, LA is expensive, for example 1 unit costs $500k-$800k to build, plus annual services and maintenance. I have read that San Francisco has more affordable housing units per capita than any other city, yet there are still 10k homeless on the streets. Shifting housing resources to the homeless means less for the working poor, who will then need to commute 2-3 hours to get to their jobs.
people need to be able to move or shiift to a better place where houses are a fordable to build or put a price limit on a house to actually build it ??
Sam you instrumented Amazing ground-work NY NY however you need to visit controlled shelters visit speak listen these programs you put together are great amazing however woman man are being damaged on account of savage brute beast where is that acceptable?
it was all about the money where it was coming from and who would get it property to build these homes other people dont want them in there back yard giving people a home is good but a lot of work to follow up with the tailings that come with it I think it is an excellent idea but show ua the money keep the big developers out of the equation
I have to ask but can the creator of this video cite his resources. He claims in 2012 that there were between 3 to 15 million homeless in the United States alone. We know that number is greatly exaggerated. The number was closer to 640k homeless in 2012. Understandably homelessness is bad and more can be done but be aware as well that those speaking at these TED events aren’t always a 100% honest. These housing first programs are cash cows. They get federal and county funding. They are run by nonprofits and that means they pay no taxes at all. It’s a shell game then as it is still today. A location just opened in Philadelphia last month. Jon Bon Jovi donated money to it. A 64 bed unit facility with a 24 million a year budget. Now let’s say you do a 90 day program there. You could help successfully 256 people. Or you could have given those 256 people 93k that year. Math seems off right? Open eyes and research before you blindly believe something being said on what’s supposed to be a reputable organization. Just saying.
As someone that works in the field, I can tell you that 'housing first' does not work for everyone. In theory and on paper it sounds like the best choice. Place someone in a home, pay their rent/ security deposit, provide case management services to address their unmet needs. However, the concept ONLY works IF the homeless individual/ family is willing to follow the plan of obtaining an income, accepting mental health/ substance abuse treatment, following rules of probation/ parole officer. Hopefully a HUD voucher will take effect to subsidize the rent.. Many ( not all) clients that have been housed with 'housing first' do not comply with their plan and they find themselves returning to homelessness once the rent assistance ends because they did not take the program seriously. Just as their is not a single cause to homelessness, their is not a single solution to end homelessness. I can't wait to see the nationwide return to homelessness rate in a few years.
There are conditions: that the person stays engaged, and that they pay their rent. Of course there isn't a single solution, and Sam acknowledges that. But study after study shows fidelity to the programme = better results than traditional solutions.
If you read the details of the Housing First Model, you will see, that it's not contingent on a person's compliance with programming. Just as it says, Housing comes first.
You people are so naive... But I bet you or any of your family members wouldn't live in one. Basically like a physic ward with no supervision. But it's okay for the poor, as long you dont have to see them in front of your homes...smh

You made care daily.
Thank you.
Me apaixonei pela explanação e entusiasmo ! Dar ao outro autonomia e dignidade é o mínimo para SOBREVIVER !
This warms my heart.

I wish we could see the slides that supports what he is talking about.
There are none...

Someone get this man a glass of water....
"As we saw in those maps..." Would it be such a terrible thing to show his slides, seeing as he is talking about them?

this is sad and exciting

He says it works for 85%. That means it doesn't work for 15%.
Thank you for telling the truth
