    It’s important to note that this is a two fold application. Counseling is just as important as the home.

    Mental health is vital.

      While I agree that the mental health is vital, I disagree that it’s of equal importance. Housing first has a winning track record, and bundling services can deter people from using either.

      Someone might be just one restful night’s sleep away from deciding that counseling isn’t a trap.

      The mental health needs to be optional to the rehomed or it won’t work.

      As Americans, we desperately need a mental health services for all program.
