Enabling 50 people to move into housing faster saved the shelter system 405,000. That’s more than the value of the cash transfers, which means the transfers pay for themselves.

✏️ More proof of how, when governments say they don’t have money to help people, that’s not a restriction… that’s a choice.
Because they are still spending money on people.. they’re spending money on the outcomes of people being homeless, sick, unemployed, poor, etc. Money is being spent on the results of these issues.
You could just spend money to help people at the root, and it would be less… but you don’t, and that’s a choice.
