Ending Homelessness

For John, BLUF:  It can be done—ending homelessness.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

This is important stuff.  And it is not one single thing, or one single cause.  It is complex.♠  "New Orleans Ends Veteran Homelessness, Proves It's 'Not An Impossible Problem'".  The source is The Huffington Post.

While I have a twinge of doubt, given it is New Orleans, this is, really, good news.

The reason this is good news is that it means saving money.  While housing the homeless, especially those with mental disturbances, is expensive, caring for those on the streets in Emergency Departments is more expensive.  Housing the homeless results in a significant reduction in costs.
