Direct Cash Transfers (also called unconditional cash transfers) are gaining traction globally as an innovative and effective strategy to reduce homelessness, poverty, and systemic inequality. Rather than requiring complex eligibility rules or service compliance, Direct Cash Transfers provide individuals with the financial resources they need—trusting that they know best how to use them.

This collection brings together implementation toolkits, research reports, videos, podcasts, and case studies from across Canada, the United States, and internationally. With a strong focus on youth homelessness, but also expanding to family- and community-level interventions, these resources highlight how unconditional financial support can increase housing stability, empower individuals, and reshape traditional service delivery models.

Whether you are a policymaker, researcher, service provider, or advocate—these materials will equip you to explore, evaluate, and expand the role of Direct Cash Transfers in ending homelessness.
