"Homeless services once worked like a reward system. Kick an addiction, get a
home. Take some medication, get counseling. But Tsemberis’s model, called
“housing first,” said the order was backward. Someone has the best chance of
improving if they’re stabilized in a home."

A direct approach is often both simpler and cheaper.  Via Adam Liss.
