Substance use and homelessness have become synonymous in recent years. But what is the actual relationship between the two? Does problematic substance use cause homelessness or does homelessness increase someone's use of substances? In The Pursuit of Peace, we sit down with system and healthcare leaders to discuss how homelessness and substance use interact, dive into how the U.S. has historically addressed substance use, and explore if there’s a better way forward.
