They're thinking about spending $1.5 billion over the next three years in San Francisco, and they're saying each bed would be $70,000 for a shelter.
What are your thoughts on this?
The whole homeless business is corrupt, and here's the reason.
When Gavin and I did the 10-year plan in 2004 to end chronic homelessness, we looked at each and every contract.
So if you come to me as a homeless person that is mentally ill, they were putting people into programs that were five months long for mental, and then at the end of the five months, they put you back on the street.
So that's not permanent supportive housing.
So that's one problem where programs ended and didn't have the proper transition into permanent supportive housing.
The second problem is we found one organization that was spending $75 on administration and $25 on the homeless person.
Wow.
75% of their funding will go to themselves.
That's right.
And that happens all the time.
