[quote=Anonymous]-affordable housing -jobs -job training and readiness skills -education and educational support DC has changed a lot in the past 20 years or so, and gentrification has made both housing and the paths to jobs that will allow people to afford housing and to support stable living situations and neighborhoods more difficult for many to access. Most people with secure living situations and community embedded access to recreational and social opportunities lead stable, crime-free lives, with less of the stress that exacerbates mental illness, (non-white collar) crimes, and homelessness. There will then be groups of people with chronic, serious mental illness, chronic substance abuse problems, and chronic criminal behavior. Each of these issues would need to be addressed with focused, long term, inpatient services and/or prison, and the prison systems need to have adequate mental health, medical, socialization, education, and job training resources.
