I think what explains the success of the program is that fundamentally that is one of our most basic needs—housing first. Once we have somebody safely, securely, affordably housed, then everything else can begin.

With the housing first model, it is housing first, and then ensuring that the services necessary to keep somebody housed are there and available to the participant in the program.
