Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% :"I can still feel the emotion -- 'Wow, we can house everyone!'" said Adam Rocap, deputy director of Miriam's Kitchen, a social services agency in Washington.
44% : Joe Lonsdale, the tech mogul behind the Cicero Institute, has called Housing First part of a "Marxist" attempt to blame homelessness on capitalism, and Mr. Trump, in seeking a return to office, has pledged to place homeless people in "tent cities.""The attack on Housing First is the most worrisome thing I've seen in my 30 years in this field," said Ann Oliva, chief executive of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, an advocacy group with bipartisan roots.
