This is very much incorrect. Programs such as Housing First and permanent supportive housing have demonstrated that virtually no single person is "unhouseable". Rather, they just need the right housing and right supports to keep them in that housing. Mental illness and criminality are not the problems, sufficient housing and supports for those living with mental illnesses and who have criminal histories is the problem.

Finland has essentially zero homelessness, yet they have drugs and mental illnesses. The U.S. has nearly 10x the rate of homelessness as Canada, yet they both have drugs and mental illnesses. The differentiators are availability of affordable housing and supports to make that housing work for those with highest needs.
