What are you trying to say?

No one here is denying that drugs and crime are problems, particularly within the homeless community. But Housing First data clearly indicates that housing people is an incredibly effective way to reduce the likelihood of someone spiraling into drugs and crime. Not sufficient, but necessary to try to fix the problem.
