Impact analysis
Cities saying 'no' to shelters might save money in the short term, but it could cost more down the line dealing with the fallout of homelessness.
Cities that reject shelters might see their property values stay higher, and residents might feel less burdened by the presence of a shelter.
Homeless individuals are harmed because they lose a potential safe haven, and the entire region is harmed by a lack of coordinated solutions.
