About a solution? Yes, it would help a lot.
For me, because my family placed a lot of value on education, and because my mom and dad educated all of us and helped us the most they could to get educated...if they couldn't afford it, then we had to pull student loans. Because I got myself educated, I've been independent enough that if I found myself in a violent situation, I was able to pick myself up only because I had my education to help back me up, to help get me back up, to start walking again, and to start living a better life.
You know, if we did have this, that access to housing, education, and health that would follow you wherever you went, yes, that would help a person become very, very independent in many ways, in many respects.
