San Francisco's Homeless Support By The Numbers

• $167,000,000: What San Francisco spends per year on services for homeless people (described by the Chronicle as people "on the streets, in a shelter or in supportive housing")


• $458,000: What that spending breaks down to per day


• 6,355: The number of people who are sheltered in "permanent supportive housing"


• $81,500,000: The annual amount of money San Francisco spends on rent subsidies and other assistive programs for those people


• 7,000: The estimated number of people who live without shelter or supportive housing, but instead live on San Francisco's streets and/or in our parks


• 10 years: The length of time the street-dwelling homeless population "has stayed pretty much steady" at that 7,000 figure


• $34: The amount of money San Francisco spends per day, per homeless person (again, this includes people in shelters and supportive housing)


• $6,000,000: The amount of money a Board of Supervisors committee recently agreed to add to the budget of local homeless outreach programs
