EXCERPT:

TURNER: "The difference is housing first is just housing, treatment first is understanding there‘s a root cause here. Get them housed, get them treated, get them transformed. It‘s the right thing to do. Let me ask you this.

What we‘ve been doing in housing first is failing the American people."
