This article from thetyee.ca is an interesting and approachable read that details a two step solution, Housing First and Treatment on Demand, to the homelessness problem Gregor Robertson has pledged to solve. It's definitely worth checking out. One aspect I find really interesting is that in order for this to even be remotely successful, all levels of government (municipal, provincial, and federal) are going to be called upon (perhaps forcefully) to co-operate and co-ordinate at a very high level.
