They couldn't buy them a home in California. Utah didn't slash homelessness, they slashed chronic homelessness. They still have about 14000 homeless as of 2015. http://www.npr.org/2015/12/10/459100751/utah-reduced-chronic-homelessness-by-91-percent-heres-how http://www.npr.org/2015/12/10/459100751/utah-reduced-chronic... https://jobs.utah.gov/housing/scso/documents/homelessness2015.pdf https://jobs.utah.gov/housing/scso/documents/homelessness201... The 2016 Utah report doesn't have the same graph showing the homeless population in state over the decade (it did not show a slashing of the homeless population in 2015 just a slight downward trend) but it does show the cost for housing a homeless person across the country - it's roughly 40,000-50,000 per year almost everywhere they surveyed. https://jobs.utah.gov/housing/scso/documents/homelessness2016.pdf https://jobs.utah.gov/housing/scso/documents/homelessness201...
