That’s super interesting tbh, a lot of the examples in that give me the idea that a lot of these were very conditional in who they helped and often with undercurrents of controlling behaviour? But also almost charity like in a really patronising way.
It reminds me of some of the stuff the Salvation Army does with queer homeless people :/, or the old-style benefits system in parts of the US back in the 1920s and 1930s (iirc) where people were basically only allowed help if observers deemed them “sufficiently frugal” or sufficiently miserable >.<
