In this Saturday edition of the Daily Signal Podcast, Mary Theroux discusses her work of trying to improve the plight of the homeless in San Francisco with methods that attempt to heal the problems in their lives that have led them to such a condition.She notes that the Housing First policy approach that treats the homeless as if they just need housing doesn't work. Theroux observes "this one size fits all policy that the federal government is imposing, does not address the underlying issues. So people may get into housing, but they're still traumatized, they may still be addicted, they may still be suffering for mental illness. And so they'll likely fall out of housing. They're not prepared to live independently. Plus they may be living in an apartment complex with other people who have very serious problems, and it turns out to be a very unpleasant place to live. So they'll leave as the streets are better."We're going to need better solutions and this conversation highlights many of those. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
