[quote=Anonymous]I couldn't seem to find it, but maybe someone else can. How much does DC spend on homelessness? I found a post from a homeless advocate group showing the _increased_ spending in 2019 and it was about $120 million: https://www.dcfpi.org/all/whats-in-the-approved-fiscal-year-2019-budget-for-homeless-services/ Quite strange they go into all those details, and never list the total homeless spending, just the increase. It looks like there are 6,904 homeless in DC as of a recent count. So if spending _increased_ by $120mln, let's say it's up to $200mln (and I'll be happy to be corrected on this). That means we're spending almost $29k per homeless person each year. How is such avast amount of spending not solving the problem?[/quote]
