This is simply an extraordinary study.
Researchers gave $7,500 (CAD) to homeless
people in Vancouver. The result? The program
*saved* money. It helped many of them to move
into housing faster, which saved the shelter
system $8,277 per person.</a></label><br><a href="https://evil.social/files/4e2b0039-d5d6-4a06-9b41-c234f706e649" rel="external">https://evil.social/files/4e2b0039-d5d6-4a06-9b41-c234f706e649</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/1616186">@rcbregman -12h
 Let that sink in: $8,277 is more than the value
of the cash transfers ($7,500), which means
the transfers paid for themselves. It's literally
free money.

I find it difficult to exaggerate the implications
of this finding. It could revolutionize how we
deal with endemic problems like poverty and
homelessness. It turns out that, all along,
we've had a super effective medicine. It's
called 'money'.</a></label><br><a href="https://evil.social/files/8444d4ad-f2cc-423d-a9d1-3cb37f0f5238" rel="external">https://evil.social/files/8444d4ad-f2cc-423d-a9d1-3cb37f0f5238</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>

They keep on finding that leaving homeless people on the street is more expensive than just giving them housing, or in this case, money.

Never let your political leadership deny that homelessness is a policy choice, not a fact of life or an unchangeable reality.
