Housing First is an approach to addressing homelessness that prioritizes providing permanent housing to individuals without preconditions, such as sobriety or employment. The idea is that once people have stable housing, they can better focus on other aspects of their lives, such as health care, job training, and social support. This model has been shown to be effective in reducing homelessness and improving overall well-being. By offering immediate access to housing, Housing First helps individuals regain stability and independence, ultimately leading to better outcomes for both the individuals and the communities they live in.
