On episode 51 we are joined by Dr. Jiaying Zhao from the University of British Columbia to talk about how direct cash transfers can reduce homelessness and improve wellbeing in people experiencing homelessness. Jiaying shares with us how providing homeless people with $7500 aided them in finding employment, improved their cognitive function, alleviated concerns of food security, and enabled these individuals to find stable housing solutions. How did individuals spend the money they received? How quickly did the participants find housing? How much would direct cash transfers save governments and funding agencies? All this and much more in Reducing Homelessness with Direct Cash Transfers with Dr. Jiaying Zhao!
