Got any sources on that claim, or are you just assuming homeless people are inherently incapable of taking care of themselves?

None of these articles discuss failures of a housing first policy, and they all seem to focus on the same single hotel.

I didn't make any claims about housing first policy, read the comment you are replying to. I know you barely looked at the articles because they are not about the same single hotel.
