It's hard to do when the people who would be recipients of such help are philosophically opposed to the virtue of such help.

"Learn 2 code" was attempted because offering food stamps and Section 8 housing in coal country gets you immediately shut down. Those people, generally, don't want to perceive themselves as a burden on society.

The irony, of course, is that keeping the coal business going is a much higher burden on society in the long run.
