* '''summary''': [[Summary::"There is a far cheaper option though: giving [[homelessness|homeless people]] housing and supportive services. The study found that it would cost taxpayers just $10,051 per homeless person to give them a permanent place to live and services like job training and health care. That figure is 68 percent less than the public currently spends by allowing homeless people to remain on the streets. If central [[US/FL|Florida]] took the permanent supportive housing approach, it could save $350 million over the next decade."]]
