but isn’t it easier just to blame the people?

![Page 5: Why we need slow policy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042812/53f65ac48d7f729a7f8b4760/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
step one: design for permanence, not transience
create neighbourhood-focused and locally accountable housing organisations with a long term stake in each neighbourhood

step two: nurture community networks
build networks of support and respect that value everyone’s time and talents, not just the abilities that command a market premium

step three: make welfare relational, not adversarial
build trust and friendship to enable people to resolve their crises, instead of assuming ‘a job’ is the solution and punishing those who fail to find one

step four: create space to grow and thrive
open up neglected spaces to give people the power to create a better environment

step five: live life at walking pace
create spaces of activity and interest to build interaction, neighbourliness and opportunity

step six: design services for discretion and fluidity
enable housing and welfare professionals to tailor advice and help to the unique circumstances of those who need support

step seven: empower people with a universal basic income
give every citizen the ability to balance the social value of building community with the economic value of paid labour
