What if we treat homelessness like a pandemic?
Research scientist Eric Latimer and his team at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ calculated the costs of services for homeless people with mental illness in five Canadian cities, including expenses related to hospital visits, court appearances and other services. The team determined that annual costs averaged $59,000 per person in Canada's three largest cities. For 10 per cent of those studied, costs exceeded more than $93,000.
