A Bird's-Eye View: Health Center City

Building a City: The Romans said "Just Facere" when they built the Baths of Caracalla to bathe the hundreds of thousands of street Romans. Later it became the Nike slogan.  The failure to cure homelessness over the past 20 years has wasted trillions of dollars, resulting in the problem growing by a factor of 10. The waste of US tax dollars while the homeless eat dirt and live in filth is the norm, not the exception and IS AN ATTACK ON OUR CITIZENS. 

Health Center Building: 

Building a Health Center facility is estimated to cost 20 million dollars per facility. The 2nd floor medical and mental hospital will cost 5 million dollars to build. But we will have an in-house medical billing office recouping most of the cost.  The tent city will cost 3 million. These costs can be offset by naming, donations, and non-profit tax exemptions. For example, the US military SeaBees can be built as a tent city. Total cost to build each facility with zero offset: $28 million 

Factors influencing the cost to launch and operation:

• donated land by the city, state, and/or federal government 
• construction and labor costs offset by federal and state relief
• permitting and licensing
• the cost or donation by the Federal government for two airport TSA unit security systems per location
• other security, fire, and fast action donations
• bus transport advertising space
• medical billing and reimbursement for the hospital
• financing fees and interest
• legal fees 
• insurance

Many cities and states are so reliant on homeless funding that they intentionally perpetuate homelessness, pocketing billions. The Health Center City plan is a major challenge for city councils nationwide, a hot potato for housing authorities, and a threat to those profiting from homelessness. Cities often obtain funding then sabotage homeless initiatives to maintain the cash flow. Homeless individuals don't vote, making the money generated from their plight more valuable to politicians than their well-being. Widespread misappropriation of funds makes securing solutions impossible.
