Reply to comment by neonoggie in After spending billions, federal government doesn't know if it's reducing chronic homelessness: AG by strawberrykid_sg
The Veterans Community Project currently does this.
San Francisco on the other hand has spent $60,000/year/tent "supporting" the homeless and nothing has improved. After sitting on a $1 billion bond issued to build housing for the homeless for 10 years, Los Angeles has started building them at $300k to $600k/unit.
It shouldn't be rocket science to build cheap and safe housing.

Open it up to non veterans!

I believe they customize the programs to deal with veteran specific issues such as PTSD and combat injuries.
But yes, it should be universal.

I mean 300k in LA probably just pays for the land to be fair. Need to build outside of LA and set up a bus to and from the city or something.

"A" bus? L.A. county alone has 69,000 homeless.

To be fair i said “a bus route” in my original statement, plus it would be ridiculous to try and house that many people in a single subdivision. Obviously there would be more than one

I doubt that an extended stay hotel costs $300k/unit.
The benefit of tiny houses is that if one gets trashed, they are a lot easier to swap out with a new one, especially if they are mass produced. Though I'd think that they could be put into a frame with multiple floors and walkways on one side and forklift access in the back to allow them to be easily swapped out with quick connect power, sewer, and water lines.

Thats a really good point and solves a major problem for these kinds of units
