That is the worst study ever. By Homeless Hub? Lol the wanton disregard for impartiality here just makes me feel like throwing up.
Do you know how much it is to build a temporary (not permanent) modular housing in this City? I'm not even including land value here since these housing units are situated on tax-payer land.
That would average $110,000 per unit, and that is also excluding the supportive services going into this. At the same time, a non-incarcerated individual (criminal) is free to roam the streets, abusing drugs and committing crimes. Did the awful "research" take into account all these? Nope.

I say we go for incarceration where inmates work their way out. That's definitely cheaper than providing pork chop meals and leaving them to fester in there.
