Don’t get me wrong, giving money directly to those who need it most is a good start, but in isolation it will not go far to resolve the issue - people need housing, a support network, empathetic and accessible healthcare, some fucking stability and security.

Also - knowing how bad, by design, our benefits and homelessness “support” systems are, how neoliberal our government is, and how much worse they’re already aiming to make them, I am extremely sceptical of this being applied without those it’s supposed to help having to jump through a million impossible hoops, and somehow, some rich person ending up with a multi million pound contract for something or other.

Here’s hoping it provides at least some real relief to a few people while it lasts, but yeah, I’m not pinning much long term hope on this.
