We don't have a homeless crisis, we have a drug addiction crisis masquerading as homelessness! The status quo has failed us miserably as the cartel's dirty products cause 80% of all overdose deaths. EMT calls & ERs are flooded by overdoses and our morgues are stacking up corpses. Grade School Kids are trying it and dying because their small bodies can't cope. Start by building FDA labs to make consistent potency, toxin-free, meth & fentanyl to dispense via free prescriptions to registered adult addicts. This will kill the cartels who can't compete with free, save $30 billion and 90,000 lives each year. Then treatment, 2 months recovery then 10 months of skills training partnered with local businesses like Amazon Boeing Starbucks, and etc. As they transition into the workforce, offer 50% subsidies for the first 3 years to incentivize employment with transition challenges grace. By then we've weaned out the mentally ill from drug addiction for safety and other services.
