$47,000 per person

Under the current proposal, the city plans to spend $47k per person per year for every resident housed at the shelter. This is more than 30% of the average cost per person at single-person shelters. By choosing a more affordable location, the city could both save significant amounts of money and provide additional services to the homeless.
