There are currently two competing narratives on homelessness: progressives argue that it's an economic problem, while conservatives argue that it's a substance abuse and mental illness problem. Both are true to an extent.pic.twitter.com/cmNlAgVToD
According to data from UCLA's California Policy Lab, the "sheltered" group can be described as a "down on their luck" population, while the "unsheltered" group can be described as a "pathological" population with extremely high rates of addiction and mental illness.pic.twitter.com/HSteXBBlNI
While both narratives have some element of truth, only the conservative narrative addresses the deepest challenge on homelessness: how to help the service-resistant population that suffers from the "perilous trifecta" of addiction, mental illness, and life on the streets.pic.twitter.com/Yml1bWZey5
I’d assert that the majority have substance abuse issues. Rare to suffer an economic setback & have no support system from which to draw assistance. People don’t miss rent, & start shooting up. It’s generally the other way around. Addicts tend to alienate their support systems.
Agreed. I think these figures probably understate the problem, mostly because of how the raw survey questions are written.
