Description
The purpose of this project has been to conduct a countywide cost study, with two primary objectives:
First, to estimate the economic expenditures on homelessness that have accrued to the county, its 34 municipalities, and its non-governmental service agencies, including hospitals and non-profits providing services to this population; Second, to assess the extent to which the costs of serving the homeless vary across the spectrum of those living on the streets and in shelters versus those living in alternative forms of housing.
