Homeless Industrial Complex: A Profitable Misery Machine
As cities across America grapple with a burgeoning homelessness crisis, a new report unveils the disappointing truth about the so-called “Homeless Industrial Complex.”
Taxpayer dollars and charitable funds are funneled into an intricate web of nonprofit organizations that, rather than solving the homelessness epidemic, often perpetuate it.
The report from the Capital Research Center highlights how 759 organizations filed amicus briefs in the Supreme Court case Grants Pass v. Johnson, arguing against laws that prohibit sidewalk camping that some deem "cruel."
- These nonprofits boast a staggering $9.1 billion in total revenue.
- They have also received at least $2.9 billion from government grants.
The report’s findings illustrate a troubling trend: many of these organizations have shifted focus from genuine service provision to high-profile advocacy for left-wing ideologies, sidelining effective, commonsense solutions.
Homelessness epidemic is perpetuated by the system.
