> They need to employ people to manage the program as well as run shelters, pay rents, etc. $4444 is not so high that it's obviously too much.

Who will they pay rent to? The pier belongs to the City.

That much money gets a homeless basically a cot in a large warehouse. How is that worth $4K/month? And which other city spends $50K/homeless person?

If you have a breakdown of the various expenditures showing that money is being wasted, then by all means post it. Otherwise, the amount really does not seem that high.
