If you multiply the HUD estimated census of homeless people by the average cost of housing it comes out to $11B annually, if by the average cost to incarcerate, then it’s $30B/year. What’s reasonable for administrative costs? Even if you figure 25%, that’s $38B per annum max to house pretty much anyone who wanted it.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has a budget of $40B. So just like healthcare, we already paying for it, we’re just not getting it.
