"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

The presentation of the Cass report as this gospel text is also disingenuous given the significant academic criticism it has received.
Just last year, a peer-reviewed critique led by Irish researchers from the University of Galway found serious flaws with the report.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Very revealing that my feeds have many, many ads for PhDs but very few for faculty positions
Some will say, yes, we are training people who go into other sectors - but if that’s the idea, a PhD is rarely the best choice
Truth is most doing PhDs would like an academic career, and most won’t get one

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
