While the article does mention it, it would be helpful to understand more details around the causes of homelessness.  What's the breakdown of people with jobs that are struggling to find affordable housing vs people that aren't able to hold down a regular job due to mental illness, disability, or addiction, vs people that just don't want to live in a shelter because of house rules, vs people that have recently just moved here with no plan, etc.  Each situation has its own needs and require different solutions IMO.
