Some Googling and back of the envelope math... an alternative proposal for SF's budget and plan to address perpetual homelessness and drug addiction in the city (outside of the city). Is this crazy?
Cool idea but 24 at a time isn't going to put a dent in the problem and I'm skeptical about the long-term effectiveness of any program that doesn't set people up to enter a totally new environment with new skills on their way out. I think this takes years. $14k/mo is expensive.

Yeah, afaik, nothing has been attempted on this scale. Could be taken on by private firm with cities as clients, paying the tuition for the participants. Participants' labor could be sold to the state/fed gov. Probably better if it's a public project to avoid perverse incentives.
