The state program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years. At the end of the project’s first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
For many people, it’s important that there is suffering by people who “deserve” it. Giving people money feels wrong and unjust. People who think like that are assholes
OH!? WHO THE FUCK COULD HAVE SEEN THAT HELPING PEOPLE GOING THROUGH HARDSHIP INSTEAD OF CRIMINALISING AND MARGINALISING THEM WOULD ACTUALLY HELP?!?!
What a fucking shocker, people don’t want to be homeless?! And maybe given the means, will pull themselves out?!?
It really is baffling. Smh. I always thought the way to help people was to give rich people tax breaks.
But what about the bootstraps?!? Why isn’t anyone thinking about the bootstraps?
