[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should enact an “adopt an unhoused person program”where we do outreach and establish a rapport, familiarity and ongoing conversation with an unhoused person culminating in house sharing-moving the unhoused person into our home and making them part of our family.’[/quote] A town in Belgium has been doing that for over 700 years. The town is anchored by a psychiatric hospital where patients receive medication, therapies, and daily activities. Some portion of the patients live as boarders in the homes of town residents. The system only works if you have stable government funding. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/21/world/europe/belgium-geel-psychiatric-care.html[/quote]
