  5. Community Change The increased cost due to homelessness to the participating community services is $19,297.10 per person annually. This cost escalates with the age of the individual. The annual cost for the eldest senior subject was $35,5641.18. Only 5 agencies participated in this limited study. Other stakeholder agencies bearing the cost of homelessness include correctional services, legal aid, emergency food providers, emergency shelter costs, family physicians, walk-in clinics and social services. Similar studies undertaken in other communities that have included services beyond those researched in Kenora estimated taxpayer costs at $35,000--$45,000 per person. Given the limited agency participation in the Kenora study, it is reasonable to expect that the local cost would be comparable. At the time of the study there were 25 chronically homeless individuals identified within the community therefore the cost of providing emergency services to this population by the 5 participating agencies is $482,427.50 Local Homelessness Costing Study 2008 Making Kenora Home tbnewswatch.com

  6. Building Benefits Us All Housing First has been found to be particularly effective approach to end homelessness for high need populations, such as chronically homeless individuals. iGulcur, L., Stefancic, A., Shinn, M., Tsemberis, S., & Fishcer, S. Housing, Hospitalization, and Cost Outcomes for Homeless Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities Participating in Continuum of Care and Housing First Programmes. 2003. Total cost offsets for Housing First participants relative to controls averaged $2449 per person per month after accounting for housing program costs. Larimer ME1, Malone DK, Garner MD, Atkins DC, Burlingham B, Lonczak HS, Tanzer K, Ginzler J, Clifasefi SL, Hobson WG, Marlatt GA. Health care and public service use and costs before and after provision of housing for chronically homeless persons with severe alcohol problems 2009 Finally, housing affordability may lead to low-quality housing and residential instability. The lack of affordable housing can lead to difficult choices in household budgets—for example, choosing between paying the rent or paying for food and other necessities like adequate health care. Families with affordability issues may choose lower quality housing to make up for the gap in income. Financial trouble may also negatively affect children’s academic performance and behavioral development (Pribesh and Downey 1999). In a 2005 study by Pomeroy which looked at costs in four Canadian cities, institutional responses (jails, hospitals, etc.) cost $66,000-$120,000 annually, emergency shelters cost $13,000-$42,000 annually whereas supportive and transitional housing cost $13,000-$18,000 and affordable housing without supports was a mere $5,000-$8,000. 

  7. Addressing Concerns • Become Part of the Development • Review the information • Be realistic about your role in the process • Name the fears and evaluate them according to evidence • Keep a community well being perspective • Recognize that although some of us may own properties • or businesses but we don’t own the community
