Miracle friends and miracle money in California: a mixed-methods experiment of social support and guaranteed income for people experiencing homelessness

DiscussionThis randomized controlled trial will determine whether innovative interventions involving volunteer phone support and basic income reduce social isolation and improve housing outcomes for people experiencing homelessness. Although we enrolled unhoused individuals who initially expressed interest in the Miracle Friends program, the study team could not reach approximately 30% of individuals referred to the study. This may reflect the general lack of stability in the lives of people who are unhoused or limitations in the appeal of such a program to some portion of the unhoused population.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT05408884 (first submitted on May 26, 2022).
