Amazing Homelessness Study

Just giving homeless people money, a economic counselor, and treating them as a person has a better chance of getting them off the street than just about any other approach. Of the 13 people who agreed to participate, and who had been previously unwilling to get off the street (including one who had been homeless for 45 years), 11 were off the streets by the end of the study, and only 4 had a negative effect. This is still better progress and much cheaper than current efforts to combat homelessness.
