The only two consistent factors in the fourty years we've been addressing #homelessness in the US have been shelters and failure. Finland has shown us that this is not a coincidence. Individuals cannot rebuild their lives on unstable foundations, but providing a sturdy foundation without necessary tools is not enough either. We must commit to providing both #HousingForAll and support services. Let's ditch this 'sheltered/unsheltered' paradigm and work towards a solution that will actually #EndHomelessness. Shout out to Mark Horvath for his great work going above and beyond to investigate what works and what doesn't. If you're feeling charitable this holiday season, consider donating to Invisible People, and let's all advocate for more effective solutions to the #homeless crisis in the new year. #homelessnessawareness #housingfirst #sweeplessinseattle #government #socialjustice #socialimpact #homelesssupport #supportedhousing
