If Obama & his Obamanomics wanted to come alongside & "assist" all 43,500 families by just GIVING them the $ to go DIRECT into housing...they could purchase homes for an average of $183,908 per family.
Now it IS true that with ANY administrative costs -- ya gotta take off 20-25% to screen/filter WHICH families receive the help. But that STILL would put homes / apartments/condos in the $139,000 to $147,000 category.
PLUS -- when you consider that about 25% of this $ is suppose to go ONLY for vouchers...and not permanent housing... that shoots the value of homes the govt could buy for 33,500 homeless families w/amounts approaching a quarter of a million PER HOUSE / housing unit!
But, of course...Democrat-styled socialism is ALL ABOUT growing the government...NOT helping homeless families!
(Actually my #s are off due to a calculation error I made...but it’s even worse than what I posted!)
