No, homelessness is not a monolith.

But lack of affordable housing is still the number one cause.

We only claim someone's problems are entirely due to drug use when they hit skid row. We don't predict homelessness for millionaire rock stars who go to rehab repeatedly.

Drug use doesn't cause homelessness. Lack of housing causes homelessness.

The real solution is: We need to fix the housing crisis.
