I said this in another thread about this article: They’re just flatly dividing the 1.3 billion total budget that was allocated over the years by the 6,300 number of homeless counted in 2023.
This budget likely includes programs serving homeless populations as a whole and its staffing, administration, etc. Given the time period this likely includes program funding that started, and then ended, with special funding local health juridictions recieved during covid.
Source: worked in the region in question in a local health juridiction through covid. Cutting programs and keeping police sweeps didn’t help the homeless but it tended to satiate the local businesses and residences impactes.
Damn, this is the first time I have seen something that isn’t the opposite issue of overcrowded and underfunded schools. Well the underfunded part still remains at any rate.
