So, I work with homeless people. Most of them are here because of addiction or mental health issues, usually a combination of both. Getting them into housing, even transitional housing, as fast as possible and providing them with services to keep them there is the biggest deterrent to homelessness. It doesn't always work, and sometimes it takes two or three tries to get somebody permanently housed, but the bottomline is that a housing first approach works best.
