Скачать или смотреть Homelessness Is Big Business—Here’s Who Gets Paid

Cities spend billions on homelessness every year—yet the crisis keeps growing. In this documentary-style breakdown, we follow the money behind the homelessness industrial complex: nonprofit contracts, shelter operators, government spending, political connections, and why “solutions” often look like perpetual crisis management instead of Housing First, permanent supportive housing, and direct help. From New York City’s multi-billion budget to stories from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Houston, this video explains how incentives, admin overhead, and outsourcing can turn homelessness into a business—and why real reform threatens the cash flow.
