About this quote

What does it mean?
People were given basic‑skill training and paid courses, but many return to street life, some even renting out houses.
In plain terms
Training alone hasn't stopped people from ending up on the streets.
What can you take from it?

Where it applies

  • skill programs
  • housing assistance
  • rehabilitation

Putting it to work

  • wrap‑around services
  • post‑training counseling

Questions to consider

  • What additional support could prevent return to streets?
  • How can we track long‑term outcomes of training?

Another view
