Comment on Oregon gave homeless youth $1k/month with no stringsparent

Hold on - what exactly do you think they're lying about? Whether they're currently housed?

Because, imo, that's the headline result - 94% is a great success rate.

What I got from the article is that 94% reported being housed at the end of the period where they were receiving money.

But the real question for me is what happens 6 months to a year after the funding ends.

yes. This is a good data point, but a follow-on study is needed to see the regression rate and whether such aid is needed continuously or if doing so for a period of time is sufficient. Likely would depend on the reasons why they became homeless in the first place.

It could be. How did the control group do?
