Permanent residences for chronic homeless

Idea:

It seems that chronic homelessness, due especially to mental health issues and addiction might not be solved by only providing affordable housing, as these homeless may not have the capability to manage those logistics without support. Malcom Gladwell speaks about this in an article "Million-Dollar Murray". Providing a safe place for people to get the support they need and access to active social workers may end up saving the tax payers money in health care, policing and loss of business (especially downtown).
