Undue weight of criticism section

The criticism section is a wonderful example of politically-motivated WP:UNDUE and WP:CRYSTAL. We have five paragraphs predicting the failure of the program in the U.S. and its imminent demise, while current reliable sources say the exact opposite, and describe it as the most successful homelessness program in American history.

Updated Critique 11/8/2017

Hello Fellow Wikipedians!

I do have some suggestions to improve this article. Housing First is an important and relatively new policy. However, I am noticing that this article needs an update.

For one, this article needs to updated research in regards to the positive and negative outcomes of the Housing First Policy. The most recent research comes from 2014 and there are not enough peer-reviewed research papers cited the negative outcomes of this policy relative to the positive outcomes.

Second, while this article makes note of the potential economic benefits of the Housing First policy, aside from alcohol addiction, there are no cited sources about the effects on mental health.

Last, there needs to be a more literature regarding the limitations of this policy. All of the cities this policy has been implemented are large, left-leaning cities. I believe that this policy has been implemented in more U.S cities and the article needs to be updated. Furthermore, there needs to be more literature regarding the economic feasibility of this policy in not just larger, well-funded cities, but also its possible implementation in smaller suburban cities with dense homeless populations.

Thank you! Mkarceo (talk) 04:13, 9 November 2017 (UTC)mkarceo (talk) 20:13, 8 November 2017 (UTC).[reply]
