The title (which comes directly from the article) is surely clickbaity at best. It is not the case that there is one homeless person, whom LA is spending $837k to house; it is the case (so says the article, anyway) that LA has a massively overspending project whose amortised cost works out to "up to" (what a weasel word) $837k/person.
