Finland, the poster child for housing first, does this as well.

Students graduate high school in Finland and are ecstatic if they can get a job at a restaurant. I have a lot of family there…
And what happens if they don’t find a job? Do they become homeless? I know a few Americans who moved to Finland. They accepted lower wages for a better quality of life.
At a certain point after decades of low wages, the “quality of life” you speak of has been eroded severely. But hey, at least there aren’t any rich people around.
