Providing homeless people with housing:

- reduces crime
- increases employment
- improves health
- does not increase reliance on social benefits.

80% of the costs are offset by the benefits in the first 18 months. Evidence from the US

I can’t believe I’m about to say this given how much I love in person conferences…but the International Studies Association needs to go virtual until Trump is out of office.

Hosting the conference in Canada (or similar) isn’t really a fix. It just shifts risk to non-citizen US based academics.
