What does the concept "housing first" mean?
Housing First
emphasizes that a person
needs a safe and secure place
to live
before they can begin to address other individual needs. Rehabilitation rarely occurs while a person is living on the street. Once a chronically homeless person can obtain a stable living environment, the individual is in a position confront and overcome the difficulties that caused the homeless condition.
