It makes sense - housing tends to cost just a bit more than that. Just two or three times more.
It can often be better spent on things that matter more than housing, especially if one doesn't want to live with a roommate.
I wouldn't think this way personally, I would want somewhere to live at the bare minimum. But homeless is an entire spectrum.
- em-bee 3y agowhich shows that money alone does not solve the problem. better would be paid housing and extra money to buy food. and if housing is to expensive then the government needs to work on building more affordable housing. the city of vienna does that for example. according to one statistic i saw 60% of the population live in government supported housing.
