Suggestions for Enhancing the M.A.S.H. Model:
1. Housing First Model Integration: M.A.S.H. units could work with "Housing First" programs that prioritize permanent housing as the first step in recovery.
2. Mobile Kitchens: Incorporate food services to provide nutritious meals on-site.
3. Partnership with Indigenous Communities: Ensure culturally appropriate services for Indigenous populations disproportionately affected by homelessness.
4. Education Hubs: Offer resources to help individuals develop life skills, from budgeting to technology training.
5. Community Engagement: Partner with local residents to build trust and ensure everyone feels invested in the solution.
