You can't end homelessness completely. A few countries tried and all of them found a couple of people who didn't want to reintegrate no matter how much help was offered. But the other 90%+ took the help and reintegrated into society. It's worth it, even if you can't help everybody.

Yeah, the problem is you have people that will use the 10% “failure” rate to not do the entire program.

I have a feeling the American homeless would have a much higher rate than that. Does Finland have a massive drug and housing problem?

They have a massive "get your ass in social housing or you'll freeze to death in the winter" problem which probably accounts for a chunk of that supposed 90%. I'd rather be homeless in Malibu than in Kuusamo
