Researchers Gave #Unhoused People $7,500.
The lump sum payments of $7,500 reduced the number of days that recipients were unstably housed by 99 days, did not lead to an increase of spending on #drugs or #alcohol, and created net savings of $777 per person per year from reduced number of days in a #homeless shelter. The Canadian study “adds to growing global evidence demonstrating the benefits of cash transfers to low-income populations," researchers say. https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7byem/researchers-gave-unhoused-people-dollar7500-what-happened-next-is-incredible
