It seriously costs the city 100k a year per homeless person?

Offer every single homeless addict actually dignified rehab (I've personally seen first hand what is on offer and it the farthest thing from dignified), then assisted living, and with first weekly, bi-weekly, and then monthly drug testing offer 20% of that (so 20k) as a carrot after a year sober to be put towards school/job training.

But Trad! Why should addicts get a free 20k for education when I did everything right and have to pay for it myself!?

Because you don't have a terrible disease and debilitating mental illness. Stop comparing yourself to the lowest of low like its somehow an injustice your basic standard of existence isn't a wretched hell.
