"If the top 1 percent of income earners in America just paid all the federal income taxes they owed, we could raise an additional $175 billion a year. That’s 38 times what it would cost to provide a bed to every person experiencing unsheltered homelessness in America."

Another way to look at it? Reducing military spending 5% would also be enough to end homelessness. We are *choosing* to not provide one of the basic necessities of life to the homeless.

I think this is a misleading notion when so many of the people need more than a roof over their head. And providing less than what they need would make the issue even more unpopular. Currently seeing the results of just someone stepping up and giving many mentally ill people a roof over their head.
