  • Dignity enables recovery better than shelters
  • Data from Finland proves it works

Disagree

  • Enables addiction without accountability
  • Taxpayers shouldn't fund free housing
  • Need to address root causes first
  • Many homeless refuse help anyway
  • Creates moral hazard for working poor
