A letter to the editor argues that politicians who defund homelessness services shouldn’t declare ‘housing first’ a failure. The author points out the link between high rents, low wages, and homelessness.
The letter is in response to congressional candidate Monique DeSpain’s guest column about homelessness. The author believes that those who disagree with and block funding for services to help people recover from homelessness shouldn’t be talking about how they want to spend tax money.
