So, the solution to people who are struggling with instability as a result of and causing them to be poor and have issues surviving is to threaten them with more instability? We have seen time and again the solution to homelessness is stability without many strings attached. From my own personal experiences with homelessness the reason why some people who are homeless choose to remain homeless is because their situation, however instable it appears to be from the outside, is essentially stable to them. And programs which are intended to help them move up from homelessness often impose onerous "if you dont do x we will kick you out", where x can be any number of things productive or silly, and that is in inherently more instable situation than just worrying about showing up for food at the mission at such and such a time or showing up to get a spot in the shelter at another time every day. We should take a system engineering approach to this situation and fix it in a way grounded in science rather than the whims of politics.
