Great article. The big takeaways to me were:
1) Housing first should always be the priority 2) You can accomplish more when all groups come together to rally around a common goal
Thanks for sharing, -Ryan

The article leaves out many problems with land use and climate in Houston, which may affect the actual living conditions in the houses for the homeless.

This article from today's NYT is quite interesting. Houston has certainly not solved houselessness but it is doing better than Portland. I hope that you all can access this piece and either listen to it (40 minutes) or read it.
