You aren't measuring the people they keep off the street using that money. Dollars spent per homeless person is useless. If they spent 5 dollars more to reduce the homeless population to 1 would you say they spent 300MM per homeless person?


This is a reasonable point.

Do you have links to any data about how much of that money was spent to keep people off the street and/or how many people were kept of the street by this expenditure per day during the last year?
