Utah giving homes to the homeless

[killersheep]

The large majority of homeless have mental issues, are the social workers going to help them with their meds?
I don't know

Who will maintain the properties?
I don't know

Who pays for this to happen? The banks? The taxpayers?
The taxpayers of Utah and by donation.

I don't know the answers. Except for it's paid for by the taxpayers of Utah, as mentioned in the article, their model shows the state spends more on incarcerating and doing ER treatment than they would spend on Board and a social worker.

As I said, I am interested to see how this works out. One thing that is interesting is that they are leaving it up to the individual cities on how to administer their programs.
