>How many shelters could be operated for a year with that kind of budget?
Where? Determine where and then determine
- rent/purchase price of a property.
- cost of utilities
- cost of maintenance and cleaning
- cost of security and other staff
- adequate liability insurance
- cost of any programs/services to help the people using the shelter to get back on their feat (if they even want to)
- cost of therapists/psychiatrists/psychologists/medical doctors to visit and provide services
It looks like 'supportive housing' cost $12,800 [1] per head per year and I don't believe that factors in food/supplies/medical etc.
So realistically, they could probably provide 12-18 months of housing/food/bare bottom basic medical care/a few sessions of therapy/a few outfits/interview training to 5000-7500 people for 129 million dollars.
