you buried the “extensive further help” clause a little, and your use of “extensive” makes it sound onerous, which is why I responded assuming you were dead against it.
If you had said something like “While I agree housing can help, but there does need to be some support as well” - I probably would’ve taken it differently.
You are right that I could have been more generous in interpreting your use of the word “extensive” as negative.
It massively depends on the individual in question. Note that I NEVER said that a house and leg up wasn’t all that some need. In fact in the majority of cases that’s fine, but that doesn’t change the fact that there are some who just throw all the help in the world back in the face of those that try and help.

Well yes, that much I do agree with.
