It will not- it should be piloted as public private partnerships in smaller places with the goal to eventually
Dispose of non profits and subsume them into public health and housing agencies. Move much faster when results aren’t happening.
The field is too disparate to be effective as a federal program but “help” needs to be a carrot-stick program for beneficiaries as well as agencies that receive millions to address the problem. If the np can’t prove they’re effective and NOT just “feel-good” stories with fundraising, providing services, revoke their status.
For families/individuals, not just funding them permanently but not leaving them stranded after a year or so either. For those with mental health or substance issues, require them to get treatment to discontinue using-or zero services, remove children from home, they get reshuffled to bottom of priority for eligibility. I have a bunch of general sketches but no, we shouldn’t be expected to continue funneling dollars into a very broken and very fractured system.
Also force churches to provide homeless assistance services. Many do, in terms of food banks and such but formalize it.
