America's workers are not "falling" into homelessness.

They're being pushed.

VA virtually solved the problem of veteran homelessness with a Housing First approach. Then the Trump administration abandoned HF and veteran homelessness started going up again. After which Biden reinstated HF, which again caused veteran homelessness to decline.
The kicker here is so important: "Veterans were the lone group among whom homelessness declined last year, the report found. That continues a long-term trend driven by bipartisan support for services and housing..." There are strategies for fixing this problem that have shown success.

Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth
