This program would be great if it cut out the drinking. There are plenty of people in need of a home. Don't give them to unsympathetic drunks.
I can just see a man or woman with a child being turned away from what is a perfectly good accomodation for a home, "oh no, i'm sorry, this building is for drunks who have no desire to help themselves. It's back to the streets and shelters for you."
They'll make back the cost in time because of all the medical care and police involvement they once caused... but doing all this for people who have no interest in cleaning up? It doesn't matter what your past is, chronic alcoholism should not be an accepted lifestyle of help like this. I mean, we're paying them to be alcoholics when they spend their government aid on alcohol.
