Is the idea that people with psychological disorders and under/unemployment should also have to develop an addiction to drugs?

A segment of the homeless population is excluded from housing services because they are not willing to give up their addictions. If they use drugs, they are kicked back onto the street.

I by no means think this should be the only homeless solution, but for the subset of the homeless unwilling to stop using drugs, our currently policies literally leave them out in the cold.
