Cities are spending billions of dollars on failing projects to try and solve this problem which has attracted a growing list of companies happy to provide their services… for a price. Helping the homeless has become a lucrative business with multimillion-dollar government contracts awarded every day. but if there is so much money to be made, do these companies really want a long-term fix? According to a report by the consulting firm McKinsey and Company, the annual budget for the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority rose from sixty-three million dollars [$63,000,000] in 2015 to eight hundred and eight million dollars [$808,000,000] in 2022, a thirteen HUNDRED percent increase in just seven [7] years… And what did the hardworking taxpayers of Los Angeles get for their money?... the number of homeless people went UP by 56%. Ignoring for a moment that everybody deserves the right to affordable comfortable shelter, there is something not quiet adding up here. A closer look at individual programs like the “Inside Safe” homelessness reduction policy doesn’t make it much better. The idea of this program was to have social workers offer hotel rooms to homeless individuals while they sought out longer-term housing arrangements. Data collected by the city and compiled by local news outlet the center square found that the plan had cost two hundred and fifty MILLION dollars [$250,000,000] over just one year. The program only served one thousand four hundred and sixty-three individuals which works out to be seventeen thousand dollars [$17,000] per individual, per MONTH. That is over two hundred thousand dollars [$204,000] every year been spent on ONE individual in ONE program in just ONE city in America. So where is all this money going? and at what point would it just be easier to give homeless people checks for three times the national salary? Well, there are three reasons why cities across America and the rest of the world are spending more money than ever on this problem while not making it any better. So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why throwing money at a complicated problem is not fixing it. |
