Are there any estimates on how many of the homeless in America that would actually be able to live in a home? (Maintenance, running costs and so on.) They seem to be a very troubled group.
A chronically homeless person costs the tax payer an average of $35,578 per year. Costs on average are reduced by 49.5% when they are placed in supportive housing. Supportive housing costs on average $12,800, making the net savings roughly $4,800 per year.
And can a person like this keep up with a home financially speaking? If not then it’s not just giving someone a home, you have to keep them on the dole indefinitely as well and take that into the calculation.
