President and CEO at National Housing Conference

No one wants homeless people to sleep on the street, in a park or in a car. But if you want to end homelessness, this is not the way to do it. It's also more expensive so in addition to being heartless, bad policy, it's more expensive than actually doing something.

There's no concern for the realities or fallout. They're just checking boxes on their decades-long wish list, which is based on nothing but talking points.

Absolutely correct. And just because a shelter is open doesn't mean it's safer!
