Providing the homeless with stable housing, in the long haul, cost much less than them fending for themselves on the city streets where they are much more vulnerable to violence, illness and pure desperation that ends up driving up health care costs. A cost of $40,000 a year sounds like allot, but compared to hundreds of thousands incurred by just one person going to the emergency room over and over (no lie) saves society money and most importantly allows the individual a chance at life. In my world it is the right thing to do!!!!
