Well it seems like the point of the program is to remove the barriers to exit for homeless people who have somewhere to go/want to leave. This seems good. Does it address root causes/is it good for the homeless people? Maybe, maybe not. But it seems like the article is missing the point. Anyone who lives in SF knows we have WAY too many homeless people. So the city should do everything it can to at least make it easy to leave if they want to.
The article seems to imply it’s a bad program because some of the homeless people who leave are still homeless. That’s not really the point. The point is that they be homeless somewhere else if they want to be.
