If I'm remembering correctly substance abuse and/or mental illness only ever trended strong in the long term unhoused. Lots of them are not long term.

"In-depth interviews illustrated their frustration, Kushel said, with respondents saying, “I’m showing up where they tell me to show up, calling where they tell me to call,” only to be turned away. Only 7% of those with any lifetime use said they were receiving treatment. “Its hard to get treatment,” Kushel said. “It shouldn’t be. You shouldn’t scrounge to save money to go somewhere and be told you’ll be put on a waiting list. That should not happen, but it does.”'
