Seems like a completely failed experiment if 100% didn't have housing.

- sodality2 2y agoFind me another example of a social safety net program that reduced its cost by 50% in one year, by lifting its recipients out of the qualifications for said welfare.
- apsec112 2y agoThere was no difference between the treatment group, and a control group given $50 per month. https://www.denverbasicincomeproject.org/research https://www.denverbasicincomeproject.org/research
- sodality2 2y agoI was more responding to the fact that if a program like this had even a 50% exit rate in one year it would not be a failure, but that is surprising.
- celdon25 2y agoHave to be careful with how you look at those numbers. It was already the case that most people who are homeless are not "chronically homeless". I don't doubt that there was some degree of reduction but if you are looking at it as a "50% cure rate" or something like that, you shouldn't be claiming things like "fact" or "success/failure" regarding the topic, without at least adding some more context.
- dghlsakjg 2y agoThere was no control group. That phraseology is never used in any of the papers or summaries on the page that you linked to Providing $50/month is just a different experiment.
- bongodongobob 2y agoMhmm, yes. My computer crashed yesterday proving them useless so I threw it away. You should throw yours away too and return to the fields of your ancestors. Edit: well I thought it was funny
