...and that's always been the problem with throwing money at homelessness. Bleeding hearts say "c'mon government, build 3 more shelters, Calgary's homeless population suggest that's what we need".
Well, as soon as that happens, Homley McHomelessmen reads it in the paper, tells all the other homelesss, eventually word gets out to Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and where ever else, and bam, your homeless population triples in the coming years.
