Great.&lt;p&gt;But it didn&amp;#x27;t end there, there was a constant stream of documentation requirements, your employer had to, monthly, sign paperwork about how much you earned (advertise to employers that you are&amp;#x2F;were homeless).  The program punished you for making money and took most of your earnings away to pay for the housing.  The program &lt;i&gt;constantly&lt;/i&gt; threatened to take away your funding if the paperwork wasn&amp;#x27;t perfect. The program &lt;i&gt;constantly&lt;/i&gt; made mistakes, paid rent late, and generally threatened a vulnerable homeless person with further homelessness.&lt;p&gt;It was infuriating to experience this through another person.  In attempts to help a person, these programs were taking vulnerable people, dangling housing in front of them, and constantly threatening them with taking it away.  That is of course exactly the opposite of what you need to do to someone having trouble taking care of themselves, and sadly mirrors the abusive kinds of situation which so often leads people to homelessness.</text><parent_chain><item><author>nathancahill</author><text>Spent a long time reading about how vast bureaucratic inefficiencies are created by people worrying that &amp;quot;the wrong person&amp;quot; will benefit from government programs or that someone &amp;quot;undeserving&amp;quot; might get theirs before I do.
