A new survey of government spending on homelessness in the Denver area says that the money spent on homeless people exceeds the money spent on students in the area by as much as five times, while also exceeding the money spent on public safety and veterans.
Researchers at the University of Colorado and the Common Sense Institute reported that Denver spent between $42,000 and $104,000 per homeless person each year, according to the Denver Post.
In contrast, Denver only spent $19,202 on K-12 students per pupil over the same period of time, according to Fox News.
