Instead of giving cash maybe give them jobs and mental/recovery/etc help?

With the current cost of housing in the UK, how many of the homeless already have a job (or few) - but ones that don't pay well enough for them to afford housing?

mental/recovery help isn't any good if your genuine material conditions are shit

  • Giving people little money when they're too mentally ill to find gainful employment and financial independence won't help either.
