I’m actually curious about the answer. Some back of the napkin math (aka take it with a grain of salt), it looks like ~100,000 could be housed in a rapid rehousing / temporary housing structure or ~40,000 in permanent supportive housing but the number is super variable based on location. Like are we talking housing them in NY, LA, SF or like rural West Virginia, Mississippi, Oklahoma? Also if one were to buy out whole homes for like $400,000 to give to the individual homeless then it’s like 2,125 people, although I doubt anyone is suggesting that. Irl probably 10,000 to 20,000 after a large sum of the money has leaked out due to overcharging and corruption.
Yes and many times a year can be more than enough for a person / household to get the medical / social help they need or its just the right starting point to be able to support themselves. I mainly wanted to add more information and not really take away from your comment

Based on this article, I would make similar estimations. With the caveat that its the cost of providing housing for 1 year, not forever.
Well it’s not like the structure evaporates after a year but yeah a participant would only get about a year.
