Now that the study is complete, the plan is to replicate it and expand it to other cities in Canada and the U.S.

New study gave $7,500 to 50 unhoused people.Guess what?

"They did not spend more money on alcohol or drugs, contrary to what people believe, and instead they spent the money on rent, food, housing, transit, furniture, a used car, clothes. It's entirely the opposite of what people think they're going to do with the money."

Congrats to my UBC colleague Jiaying Zhao on this study.
