Once again the data is crystal clear: It's cheaper to keep people housed.

Kudos to Denver for getting it right!
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
