    I believe you’ve misinterpreted their findings completely. They’re saying those who start in temporary supported housing have better attainment, which Is exactly what I was saying. Just giving people keys and wishing them luck results in worse outcomes, they need halfway homes to acclimate to independent living first. People need support as well which is the entire frickin point of the conversation you muppet

    Smh.

    Also, I’m not your personal googler. If you want to know if there are studies look for them mate. People just think saying “source?” is enough to win an argument

      you buried the “extensive further help” clause a little, and your use of “extensive” makes it sound onerous, which is why I responded assuming you were dead against it.

      If you had said something like “While I agree housing can help, but there does need to be some support as well” - I probably would’ve taken it differently.

      You are right that I could have been more generous in interpreting your use of the word “extensive” as negative.

        It massively depends on the individual in question. Note that I NEVER said that a house and leg up wasn’t all that some need. In fact in the majority of cases that’s fine, but that doesn’t change the fact that there are some who just throw all the help in the world back in the face of those that try and help.
