“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

“Finland’s success isn’t a matter of luck or the outcome of quick fixes. It’s the result of a sustained, well-resourced national strategy, driven by a ‘Housing First’ approach, providing people experiencing homelessness with immediate permanent housing.”

Blue states need to immediately pass a law directing state law enforcement officers to detain anyone performing an arrest or detention in public while masked or failing to visibly display identifying credentials, for the purpose of protecting public safety. And yes, they can do so.

Trump's new “supercharged” travel ban takes effect today.

The order amounts to an even more sweeping bar than the infamous travel ban on Muslim-majority nations that President Trump implemented during his first term.
