Great news, and hopefully this will lead to more help for those who need it (UBI please!).
I’m not sure how this will “undercut the stereotype that homeless people can’t be trusted with cash” though, as they specifically didn’t give money to the type of homeless people these stereotypes are about…
The study did not include people who are street-entrenched or who have serious addictions or mental health issues, Zhao noted, adding people who fit that criteria do not make up the majority of homeless people.
The need to exclude these people reinforces the stereotype if anything.
