How many of these studies need to be conducted? It’s the same study, same results, every single time. It doesn’t matter the region, country, or general makeup of the #poverty survivors participating, giving poor people cash without strings attached results in reduced poverty and improved quality of life for the entire community because #povertysurvivors are able to find a place to live, pay their bills, and pursue education, work, etc.

“Not only were the ruse and shooting needless, but they consummated months of the federal government’s counterproductive harassment, #criminalization, and prosecution of an Idaho family eking out survival while enduring #homelessness brought on by their #eviction at the onset of the #COVID19 pandemic” the lawyers wrote in a letter notifying the agencies of the lawsuit...The family was unable to find another rental and was told that the local emergency shelter options were full, according to the lawsuit. They subsequently moved into their two camper trailers despite no running water. The Roberts family then “moved across Southwest Idaho,” where they were constantly ticketed by law enforcement officers and told to “move on,” the lawsuit adds."

"The way that all these countries are doing it is a values-based approach,” Tsemberis said. “They’re not doing the numbers first. They’re saying, look, we’re a #society that believes that everyone who lives here needs to have a decent place to live, needs to have #healthcare, needs to have #education. These are basic #humanrights of our social contract. That’s where they start from. And then they figure out how to make that happen with the budgets that they have.”

The #USA doesn’t have that consensus, Tsemberis said.

“This is why the politics come into it,” he said. “We have a society that says everyone’s on their own."
