[quote=Anonymous][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 i[b]f you have stable government funding.
