It absolutely can though? If someone is in a very tight financial position, 3k can get them so much. it could give them breathing room on certain bills, pay of debt, secure FOOD that you NEED to LIVE, keep the rent paid, or even just straight up save/invest, all of this allows them to not be under constant stress and worry that can really hurt their day to day life.

Right, and all of those benefits last as long as the $3k. Like giving someone a fish, it only is useful until they've eaten the fish.

Its quite obvious you never actually been in a position where 3k would be life changing. Like, if someone can have a stable home for a moment, they can make steps to keep it a stable home.
