Great for the kids receiving and maybe the parents, but generally speaking, bad for everyone else with housing being such a limited resource.
Having a house with a yard and white picket fence isn't bad in and of itself. It's just when everyone wants one it leads to urban sprawl, traffic jams, inner city blight.
Tragedy of the Commons - google it.
