$213K per apt for homeless people and their pet. Does this sound cost effective to anyone ?
Now it projected at $247K per bed. Could build 150 individual small houses for that. Of course all the additional care and services is probably half the costs.
Can’t wait to see what they look like in 3 years.
The demolition will be another $20 million at least.
Hope it helps though. Downtown is embarrassing to tourists.
This will *totally* offset the closing of massive mental hospitals like Central State and LaRue Carter. Problem solved!
There is no “cost effective” solution. There is only a solution with a cost. And that cost can be borne by the tax payer through the way of jails, and homeless outreach teams, emergency room visits, and pauper’s funerals. Or it can be borne through the way of assistance, safety for the entire city, the potential for people to put their lives back together and rejoin society. This is not bleeing heart liberalism. This is a conservative talking actual dollars and cents. Look up the average cost to build this type of facility. Do the math. Your tax dollars are much better spent in this manner than in the other.

They haven’t even added in the cost of running the facility yet. The cost is only beginning to take off.
Yeah, man. The Conservative solution of “Stop Being Poor” has totally worked out.
It will be interesting to see what the total operating expenses are once the staff salaries are included.
