Why can't we stop homelessness?

Combating homelessness is a complex societal challenge that requires a multifaceted approach involving governments, communities, nonprofit organizations, and individuals. It is an ongoing process that requires dedication and collaboration from all levels of society. By adopting a comprehensive approach and addressing the root causes of homelessness, we can work towards a future where everyone has access to safe and stable housing.

The shift in tone comes after both LA and New York City recently declared a record level of homelessness, and other cities have also seen their numbers continue to climb despite considerable attention and spending to give people shelter. It's part of a steady rise around the country since 2016, after years of successfully driving down the number of people without housing.
