    This article talks at length about the cause of this rise being increasing economic stress / government cuts and the affordable housing system not having been adjusted to meet the rising demand. Literally it points to a Housing First program under-powered relative to economic needs as the reason for the rise. I don’t know if I necessarily agree with the person you’re replying to but this article strongly supports their argument.

      Sure, but they said they “eliminated” homelessness. I would say “addressed it effectively”, but not eliminated. Kind of similar to how measles hasn’t been eliminated but it’s essentially handled.
