"Homelessness is solvable. Its primary driver is housing unaffordability... so the solution has always been more housing, particularly for those who don’t currently have it," writes Ned Resnikoff, policy manager for the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, in a New York Times opinion piece. Although California has taken an important "initial step" to end homelessness, he calls for policymakers to take widespread homelessness seriously, which "will require years more work, planning, public investment, and legal reform."
