But I don't know why you are unsure about a homes (homes is a better word, housing is insufficient) first policy wouldn't work.
I am confident it would work for most people. But I don't have enough understanding of the issues to know whether it would work for all. 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.
