Well, it's a study... I can totally see giving someone $1200 once will not going to food and shelter. But just maybe, over time, it'll relieve what may be a sense of hopelessness, or other complex social factors that leads people to poor decisions. And it may not help for 100% of people in that socieconomic bracket, but optimistically I think it could help a large number of people get out of a bad cycle.

No, it's literally called enabling, and it doesn't help people's problems. There's a reason why you're told to cut off funds to people who have problems like this.
