Petition: Tell Los Angeles to Implement Proven Program to Help Its Homeless Population

For once, a large American city listened to experts and tried something new to address homelessness: giving those without shelter money. And it turns out, that this simple program works.

About 800 homeless Denver residents receive $1,000 per month. Six months into the project, every participant who was sleeping on the streets at the start of the experiment stopped. As a bonus, participants also felt safer and had better mental health than before receiving the money.

This program is simple, effective, relatively cheap, and it works. It’s time other cities follow suit and implement something similar!

Please sign this petition to tell Los Angeles City Council to follow in Denver’s footsteps to help address homelessness!
