Estimates are that there are about 552,000 homeless in the USA. That comes out to $92,000 per homeless person - which for a family of four is $368,00. That would put them in the top 3% of the country. And that is just in federal spending!

I don't think the problem is lack of funds. Perhaps the funds are not being spent wisely.

I have also seen that we are giving billions of dollars to Ukraine.
Have to love the efficiency of government
