Solving Nashville's Homelessness

If you gave many of our vagrants apartments or houses, they would ruin them in fairly short order. They are not in proper housing now, not because of a lack of accommodations, but because they are addicts, alcoholics, mentally ill, or all or some combination of the above. You may give them money because they claim they need food. Chances are better than even that they will use whatever you gave them for meth or booze. Homelessness is a complex issue with no easy solution and sometimes what you do to help is actually only making things worse by perpetuating addiction.
