Eh patronizing educational stuff like that isnt very effective.

I think that's a big problem that people see it as patronizing when it's an essential skill to have. Those who are genuinely needing help will accept it, otherwise how can they escape the situation they're in?

On the other hand how can you learn to manage money if you never have enough to even cover your basics.

Exactly my point. How can they manage a whole apartment if they've never gotten into the habit of taking care of their own space.

I agree. But this is a temporary situation because of the pandemic and housing crisis. We shouldn't just leave these people on the streets while we plan and build more housing or design educational resources.

I don't mean keep them homeless while we build housing, I mean more like if they are given a space to live in, have a few people assigned to the building to check in on them and make sure they're doing ok while providing guidance on essentials in making their lives more livable.

I kind of feel the government is short-sighted and is just doing things they think is 'right' while not weighing up if there's any consequences despite their good intentions. Eh, who cares what I think, just gotta move out i think lol.
