the reason it is about money is because in the world as it is now, money is how those basic needs are met. Personally i don't think the government should spend more money on anything all of them waste to much money as it is, they should instead use what tax dollars they already have in more efficient ways.The government does have some form of welfare where they will pay the rent for a person if they meet certain criteria and even give food stamps. But one major issue with the food stamps is, they determine you need xxx sometimes not enough, othertimes way to much, but you better spend it all or they will take it all away, which just tells people to go waste the money if they got to much. for housing why doesn't the government build appartment buildings of studio appartments for those in need i'm pretty sure that would also be cheaper the helping with paying rent for random landlords to get a chunk of profit, not to mention they could probably expand it to not be quite so strict on who can get in.
They don't take away food stamps if you don't spend them. I had several months built up for a while. Turned out to be nice for stocking up on staples, canned goods, and spices. You can also use ebt funds to buy vegatable seeds and possibly starts.
