Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

I loved this book and think about it often. Somewhat related, I'm really excited to try some new to me apples while I'm in the UK next week.
Hey if you ever wanted to take a bite of the apple and read BLACK RIVER ORCHARD -- suburban folk horror! cults! creepy masks! sinister fruit! weird apple information! -- then it's $1.99 from your chosen electronic bookmonger. Tell your friends and enemies and pets.
