You also need to include in the initial cost of this project the salaries of all the people that are involved in the process of placing someone. It's not a charge that will continue though. It does cost money for people's wages and benefits. That being said it all doesn't add up to $100k to provide a person a place to live. You could also deduct the payroll and benefit costs of the police not having to deal with each person that is no longer camping out. If you have never been homeless or known someone personally and you aren't capable of picturing yourself in someone else's shoes then it might be best to read instead of write and listen instead of talking.
