Universal basic income is not the answer for obvious inflationary reasons. The solution is universal basic services. Anyone who finds themselves homeless should be given access to the following to allow them to survive in a dignified way and help them move to a self sufficient life if they choose: - A shipping container home on a dedicated facility with access to electricity, heating, water and the internet. - Mental health counselling on site. - Fitness facilities on site using cheap but effective equipment such as sandbags, sand kettlebells and weighted rucksacks. Fitness classes and organised rucks should be scheduled throughout the day for anyone to join if they wish. - Basic generic clothing if needed plus one generic formal outfit if needed for job interviews. - A free educational course. - A laptop, for educational courses and for basic entertainment. - A mobile phone. - A 50cc moped or electric bicycle to allow wider access to job opportunities. - Basic food: a Soylent like shake for breakfast, a plant based lunch and communal dinners. - A free bank account and debit card with no overdraft available. Throwing money at the problem is not going to fix it. In order to help these people rebuild financially, we need to help them heal mentally and physically then give them both the skills and means (transport, clothes) they need to find employment. They need to be allowed to heal and move at their own pace. You can try to nudge them in the right direction but ultimately it is their choice. If some of them just want to see out the rest of their days at the facility you have to be ok with that. I believe the majority will want to heal, gain skills, find employment, save up and transition back into the economy.
