Permanently house and feed someone? $16,000 seems quite a bit too low. That might cover food alone I would imagine, depending on the person’s age. More so if it’s like a 30 year old less so if they are 60.
It’s more like it costs more money than that to allow someone to be homeless, since they’ll be more likely to use emergency services and such.
$16K is actually not too far off from what I spend yearly on feeding and housing myself in Seattle. Remember that most housing costs in this country are dramatically inflated by rent (aka landlord greed).
Remember that homeless/unemployed people are likely to qualify for Medicaid and other benefits

Checked for France, cost goes between 12k€ to 17k€ per year. It includes housing, food, management.

Yes that is annually but post says “permanently” which I take to mean for multiple years not annually.

Yeah $16k annually sounds about right. But they say “permanently” which I read as $16k total not annually.
I assume they mean in Louisiana
