They organized the recipients in the following groups, "Eligible applicants were randomly assigned to one of three payment groups: A) $1,000 a month for 12 months, for a total of $12,000 in a year; B) $6,500 upon enrollment and $500 a month for the subsequent 11 months, for a total of $12,000 in a year, C) $50 a month for 12 months, for a total of $600 in a year."
This is odd, why don't they have a control group that received $0 per month? Could it be that they knew most of these people would find housing of their own volition regardless of the payment provided, and that by excluding an actual control group, they don't have to compare against the null results???
Maybe by providing $50/month to people that would find housing anyway, they could claim that participants showed these incredible improvements (ignoring the fact that the payments are not the reason why)?!?!? No, that would be disingenuous! Leftists wouldn't do such a thing!!!
Actually, that's exactly what's going on here. If you look at Figure 16 on page 27, it turns out that the $1000/mo payment is statistically no more likely to reduce the probability of a participant being unhoused as compared to the $50/mo payment. Does anyone actually believe that $50/mo is enough to solve homelessness? No, that's silly.
Leftists want to believe that UBI will work SO BADLY that they take taxpayer money, funnel it to a group of homeless people they know do not need it (they deliberately chose participants without disabilities and illness), construct a purposely deceptive "study" based on this scientifically unsound process, and then plaster the "promising results" all over the internet, using leftist propaganda accounts on X to trick people.

!anticommunists a "revolution" that requires taking hard-earned cash from actual working people via taxing so that hobos can be enabled to continue their panhandling and drug festivals in their shopping carts is, well, probably not worth it

A true socialist approach to homelessness would have them all breaking rocks in an austere mountain gulag until they were fit to return to society

So we're they literally just giving them cash to spend at their discretion? Or was it like a card to an account that can only be used for certain things like EBT? I'm to lazy to read, sounds like prog money wasting nonsense that white women vote for

Probably a debit card or something so they can track purchases.
If I got a free no strings attached 1k a month, I'd probably buy more Warhammer shit or blow it at titty bars or vietnamese coffee shops.
