I remember a source for that. From what I recall, it wasn't that every homeless person cost the local government $1m a year, but that a particular homeless person cost that much (due to his ER usage, police involvement, etc). The article was about how it's actually cheaper for the government to just to give a certain subset of homeless people no-strings-attached free apartments than to let them continue to live on the streets.
