“While I have no problem with providing cash to people who need money, the solution to homelessness is housing,” Bloch told me. “Especially in a city like Vancouver where housing supply is low and rents are astronomical, it will be very hard to sustain a homelessness intervention without offering long-term affordable housing. I would not want to see these findings used to take pressure off the critical need to provide both long-term affordable housing and long-term income security.”

✏️ Keeping things in perspective.. you don’t solve homelessness by cash alone.
As always, you solve it with homes, as simple as that.
Cash is to help people just live.
