An owl handler I met (although not the one in my anecdote) with his beautiful owl.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.
βIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.β
It costs a lot less to house people.

What everyoneβs missing about university funding.
By Nick Hayden
Introduction.
When politicians and pundits talk aboutΒ pulling federal fundingΒ from universities like Columbia and Harvard, they rarely discuss what that cutting federal funding does,...
