The city should replace most or all of the congregate bed contracts with SROs. Even SROs shouldn't cost 5k/month.

If there's a minimum of oversight, the city would even save money.

Yep, they are trying to do this. Building SROs and not congregate housing. It's a pain in the ass to build new shelters in this city, though.

The city is still planning to build new congregate housing... at prices that could arguably build a 1BR units for each congregate bed.
