This number is horribly bias and misleading. They are using the money that goes towards all homeless programs- including programs that keep people housed- but then dividing it by the number of shelter beds, despite the fact that the vast majority of the money is not spent on shelters.
It's like taking the entire school budget, dividing it by the number of first graders, and then saying that's how much we spend per student. It's stupid math that is only used to mislead.
