Those who got the $750 monthly stipend were less likely to report being unsheltered and said they were better able to meet basic needs, the study found.

    I think you’re mixing up UBI with basic welfare. Main point of UBI is that it’s given to everyone regardless of their income. From the poorest of homeless to Musk and Bezos.
