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.

@LuciferMorningstar I would assume as well that it frees up the time of the people working with the homeless, so they've got more time to work with those who have more complex needs and need more support, so getting a better outcome for them too.
