LA pays $2600 per homeless tent, per month
&gt; the per-tent cost covers services, meals, sanitation and staffing<p>OK, so $2600 gets a fair bit.<p>Also looking at the report [1] this rate is calculated by dividing the total cost of the pilot by the duration and number of clients. So that is including one-time set up, planning and evaluation in the cost, which is probably a decent fraction of the cost as it&#x27;s only an 8 month pilot. The recurring cost for extending may be lower.<p>I think it&#x27;s misleading to compare that dollar amount to the monthly cost of an apartment.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;clkrep.lacity.org&#x2F;onlinedocs&#x2F;2020&#x2F;20-0841_rpt_cao_03-18-2021.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;clkrep.lacity.org&#x2F;onlinedocs&#x2F;2020&#x2F;20-0841_rpt_cao_03...</a>
