Housing First is a great initiative to get homeless people off the streets. It seems to me, however, that a more comprehensive plan involving housing AND employment, with the transition to permanent employment possible. To start, the city clearly has a need for public works employees to clean, paint, rebuild, repair, etc., and it seems like these manual labor type jobs would be a great fit in such a program.
