Middletown shelter directors say the city needs different types of housing to address homelessness. City officials are resistant.
, a social science professor at the University of Pennsylvania who studies homelessness, show that repeatedly arresting homeless people can cost local governments more money than finding housing and other resources for the same number of people.
"These programs provide wraparound services at a very efficient cost ― $6,200 per year, which is only $17 per day," Loken said."Supportive housing is a highly effective intervention to end long-term and chronic homelessness, and it reduces costs that would otherwise be incurred by other community systems, like jails and hospitals.
"I think a large majority of our citizens feel like they're being held hostage right now by a small demographic of people that are largely not from this area. We as city council are elected to protect our citizens," Ferrell told The Enquirer. Erica Norton and her sister Jessica Henize Clarke run the Mindful Healing Center in Middletown, an addiction treatment center that also assists its clients with finding housing.
