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

https://thebetter.news/housing-first-finland-homelessness/@BrentToderian I was never out on the street homeless, but very shitty luck early in life left me with no safety net, no education and no job. In a lot of other places I could've ended up as a junkie, thief, selling my body or other outcomes. Instead I'm a sr. software developer 28 or so years later.
Be that people do shit on the social welfare, it helped me in a spot where no one else did. Not only I got on my feet, I got the ball rolling for making it not just enough to survive daily, but to improve on it.
Years later I travelled the world and was shocked something like this wasn't universal. I even got a lot of arguments against it, often with talking points that just felt like they were guesses or regurgitated propaganda rather than facts. I believe what I personally went through and believe others can turn their lives around too.
