Thanks, that sounds interesting.
Yeah, also look online for info on the Homeless Industrial Complex. It's a real thing. It's how you can spend billions of dollars on "the homeless" and have the situation be far worse than it was before.
I've heard numerous stories about some of these nonprofits actually "seeding" an area for homelessness. They will actually put up tents in an area, and encourage people to move in them. And also give away free tents. They really don't want the problem to go away, because then their job goes away.

Just saw this post - Institutions try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution. It points to this article: https://effectiviology.com/shirky-principle/.
This is very applicable to the Homeless Industrial Complex. They are definitely NOT trying to solve the problem of homelessness. They're trying to make the problem bigger, to keep and expand their jobs.
There's so many examples of this that I encounter in day to day life.

That's the fundamental problem of single issue or special interest activist organizations.
