➸ Participants with mental illness, addictions thrive after being given apartments: five-year national study

karalianne:

A five-year study that housed people with mental illness and drug addictions in apartments scattered throughout Vancouver found most participants stabilized their lives and coexisted peacefully with their neighbours. The findings mean residents should not be afraid of social housing mixed into neighbourhoods throughout the city, concluded the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s final report into the Vancouver At Home/Chez Soi research project.

Look what happens if you help people instead of insisting that they “help themselves.” They actually manage to help themselves!
