Homelessness is not a problem to be fixed, but a multifaceted state of living that cannot be resolved with simple solutions like providing shelter.
Proposition 36 is an ineffective approach to crime and addiction, redirecting vital resources away from necessary support services towards jail and prison systems.

More punishment is not the answer to social problems like addiction and homelessness; we require continued funding for successful rehabilitation and support efforts.
