Sam Tsemberis, who serves on the faculty at Columbia University Medical Center, is credited with heralding the “radical” concept of housing first. It’s the model successful cities attribute to enabling them to end chronic homelessness.

The approach supports giving people on the streets housing and then addressing their addiction, unemployment or mental health issues afterwards.
