"Lincoln Curtis says if you ask him a simple question, you get a simple answer.

Why is he homeless? There aren’t enough houses, he says. What does he need? A
job. What is he doing about these things? Waiting for one, looking for the
other.

“I just got on the social housing waitlist two months ago,” he says. “They’ve
told me I will have to wait five to seven years.”"
