I distrust toots that assert something without providing a link
I was lucky and found a link to the 31K figure; sounds partially like it does NOT apply to all homeless people, just some small percentage, so probably a bullshit number

yeah, for sure !! and that doesn't include support; a lot of homeless are just bad luck, but others need support (rehab) which is $$
