I've also thought about offering homes to the homeless and the issue of the person's ability to maintain the home. Afterall, think about the responsibility to keep your house/TH/condo in relative good condition and tend to issues that arise. If there is a scale of sort where a person's capacity - mental, emotional, psychiatric, etc is able to take care of their own place, let's call that 5 out of 10. There are lots of people homeless that are on the scale of 1-4. Giving them a 'home' will end up as many described, being trashed, shit on the wall, toilets clogged, hoarding, etc.

So if we talk about 'wrap around' support, these individuals who are not capable of maintaining their own place, they have to be brought from a 1 to a 5 through self-hygiene, basic self care, care of possessions, basic finance mgmt, etc. before they can be given a home.

There are so many finer nuances of trying to offer a homeless person a home in order for that to be sustainable.
