MYTH:People experiencing #homelessness sleep during the day in public places b/c they're usually intoxicated.

FACT: This population often chooses to sleep during the day in public spaces b/c they don't have a safe place to sleep at night.

SUCCESS STORY: Thanks to @CovenantHouseTO’s #FNS program, 6 youth remained in their family home this month and 2 youth left the shelter & moved back home because of the #FNS supports that were put in place.

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3rer007r

A great read here form the @nytimes on the causes of Homelessness. It's always important to educate yourself and others.
