Absolutely it does! That's why those are the people you specifically target with things like a housing-first approach or just straight up money because that's all they need and can take it from there. I'm pretty sure they make up the majority of homeless as well so it can do a lot of good so the sooner we get on it the better. Check out this trial that was done in Vancouver for example that deliberately excludes the more entrenched people for that reason.

I think we're agreeing, but aggressively at each other lol. For the record I'm all for including the more well-off homeless (that sounds weird to say) in any initiatives. I don't think I agree with explicitly excluding the more entrenched, but both groups probably do need different resources, and so it's not entirely as simple as just give em all cash or a house, but I think in both cases it's the FIRST step to take.
