While the "Soft" concept may have unintentional
theoretical consequences, it primarily serves to allow varying
configurations of social interaction in the shared corridor
between the units. It is one thing to take a step from being
homeless to having a home, but it is another to become a part
of society, a difficult task for those shunned by that same
society. If (hopefully) built, this shared space would become
a lively, ever-change place, as soft and comforting as the
units themselves. Which brings up one dilemma First Step Housing
may have: some residents may not want to leave!
