California Spent $17B on Homelessness. It’s Not Working

Strangely that's not what Finland[0] has found to be the case. By using a housing first approach they've been able to severely decrease the number of homeless people.

You are absolutely correct that other interdictions are needed as well.

You can't really be homeless in Finland during winter for very long though.

Finland already has universal healthcare, no? Don't remove that from your calculations.
