While a growing body of evidence suggests unconditional cash payments are an effective and cost-efficient tool for alleviating the strains of poverty, Bay Area Thriving Families will be among the first studies to evaluate their effectiveness as a tool to address homelessness. We hope our findings will be valuable for researchers, policymakers, and community providers of homeless services who may wish to supplement existing services with direct cash payments.December 2023We do not know.
