Still, if it could solve the problem for 90% (or 80%, or 95%) of the rough sleepers, it would be a huge improvement.
But, getting such a policy is not going to be quick. I think we would need to drive and fund that from either the federal or (more likely) provincial level. And it will take time to build up the support to make that happen.
I'm not sure what you mean though? It would "work" for 100% of people, in that 100% of people sleeping rough would no longer be sleeping on the streets. I mean, unless you are suggesting that there are people who would choose to sleep on the street rather than in a home with absolutely no strings or limits attached?
I am not suggesting that. I am simply saying that I don't know this area well enough to make a definitive statement.
