In my small town, I've watched the community rally and provide shelters both wet (they can come in drugged and/or drunk) and dry. This was a big fail as there was absolutely no respect nor appreciation for these expensive facilities. As for basic income, it has been proven to be no more than a method for politicians to get votes as once someone received BI, there is zero incentive to find a job. Finland has called off their BI as the government appears to be responsible with tax payers $. Finland found no benefit either.
