a very slight uptick in % housed for those who got the money in a lump sum might make sense: it's enough for first month rent + deposit. other than that, agree. sure looks like no real effect. i wonder what % housed would be after a year for people who didn't even get $50/month? it's probably also the same. for the reasons you state.
