New York City spent about $81,705 per unsheltered homeless person last year, up from $28,428 six years earlier, according to a new report from the state comptroller.
Any time government spending has increased by 262 percent to address a problem that has simultaneously worsened, by 25 percent in New York's case, it's essential to ask where all that extra cash is going — and whether there's a better way.
