It’s about more than shelter, though. Shared housing as you describe is only a quick fix which only addresses the symptoms, not the cause. The cost of housing is an issue. The availability of affordable housing is an issue. if you work a job but only make $10/hr, and then have to leave your place due to rent increases, and the only place you can afford to live is a 1.5-2 hr commute…oh look, an example of how homelessness happens when you’re not mentally ill or a drug addict.
