Yeah, this. It looks like any interpretation of the data is complicated slightly by the three groups all having slightly different initial situations, but the approx 34% of people finding stable housing within six months after receiving a monthly stipend that looks sufficient to cover budget room rent vs the 31% who found housing after receiving virtually nothing doesn't look like a promising result. There are always going to be secular trends of surveyed people regardless of what they're given. First of all a lot of homelessness isn't permanent, so if you monitor a group of homeless people some of them will cease to be homeless over the course of time regardless of whether they're getting anything from you or even aware they're being monitored. And secondly people are aware they're being studied, and often react. That may be as simple and positive as doing more to help themselves because the nice person showed concern about where they'd be in six months time, but it may also be people acting or claiming to act differently because they believe the payments are linked to what they report (no matter how much surveyors insist it's unconditional and there's no judgement and no possibility of the experiment being stopped or continued...)
