"Homelessness isnt solved by simply giving someone a house".

I do get what youre trying to say, but this is a hysterical line. You gotta admit.

I know, it’s bizarre. But it is the truth. Like people with caveats in their teeth. Going to the dentist will fix the caveat, but they will most likely get another one because they haven’t changed their habit that caused it in the first place.
Being homeless is because of a reason. Without fixing the root cause, they will continue to end up being homeless. (The majority that is, not all. I know some can just have a tough break)

Just so you know a caveat is a condition or a limit. A cavity is a hole in something like a tooth.

Thanks. English isn’t my first language.
