Yes, if our goal is not have any homelessness, than what should our policies be and how would be implement them by law? If we desire some homelessness, what is the % that we desire? different policies and laws. Better goal: no person should have to live on public streets

What if we have all the room and boarding available and the person STILL chooses to live on the streets? Like they did during March through July in NYC despite Blasio buying Manhattan hotel rooms at $175/night to house them all and they STILL slept outside.

I'm sure there is more to this story Did anyone ask why? Why do you think that is, if true?

Yes, there is more to the story. Homelessness is a mental health issue and not a poverty issue after a while. Also not all mental health is curable/manageable, some will roam aimlessly. And we do not lock up homeless people as a country so they roam free. Ending up homeless.

Ok, but that doesn't explain if every homeless person had a place to stay why didn't they take it? yes, of course mental health is a big part of homelessness which is why housing without wrap around services is not going to work. In

Mental issues make you do silly things. So no amount of law changes or money being thrown at it will solve it. Doesn't mean we stop trying but definitely means we understand that there are limits to what we can solve so unduly burdening tax payers with problems isn't the answer.

Mental illness is manageable. The objective is no people living on the streets.

How do you convince a mentally ill person to live in a vacant apartment for them if you find them on a street every day?

You can't just put them in an apartment without wrap around services. You need different housing for them that's not prison (too expensive) Attach mental health housing to existing hospitals and use psychologist and social workers to evaluate them on the street and expand 5150

So....are you suggesting restraining(arresting) them into those apartments because social workers and doctors cannot spend 24 hours with them.

it has to be staffed 24 hours by professionals. I wouldn't use arresting or restraining. Holding them thru a treatment program until some of them can exist on their own and then get them to permanent housing. Longer term transit shelter.
