cost of homelessness

I read the following on the yahoo group for PTSD homeless.  I added that I hoped the complete report includes humane expenses, too- like what is does to people who are already struggling with PTSD or other symptoms related to being survivors when they have to struggle and beg for basic things like food shelter, etc. and being treated the way homeless are treated.:
 
The Interagency Council on Homelessness has found that all cost-benefit analyses show that paying for the homeless to have minimal housing, food, health care, and job counseling costs less than public costs of their street life. The greatest savings come from decreased emergency room visits, police calls, and court time. What isn't counted, and significant,  is the increase of business in areas where the homeless are vagrants.  In addition, these studies show most of these participants find jobs and leave these programs.
As always, please share this.
