REPORT: New York City Spent Approximately $81,000 PER PERSON on Services for the Homeless Last Year

According to the comptroller, New York City spent an eye-popping $81,000 per person on services for the homeless last year.

This leads to some obvious questions. Why are there still homeless people in New York City? How does this city spend this kind of money and still have a homeless problem?

Also, would it not have been better to just give $81,000 to each homeless person on the condition that they get off the street? Couldn’t that have worked better in the end?
