Well, as I said, I thought that she was unclear, vague, used a lot of anecdotal stories as evidence and dismissed outright the utility of doing any quantitative analysis ("statistics") in this area.
The opening interview was powerful alright - but not in the same way to everybody!
Many people questioned why somebody eight years homeless would have five kids during that time and seem to expect to be handed a home close to their parents.
Alice also seemed critical of organizations such as the local authorities and services ("wrap around services"?) without offering any clear ideas/solutions that I could identify.
She did allude to personal responsibility on the part of people looking for housing but for some reason seem to give the woman at the start a free ride on that front.
