2015 fiscal berkeley operating budget was 293 million.

2017 homeless number is about 1000:

If every one of them is provided a $3k/mo apartment, it would increase the budget by 36 million.

Berkeley population is estimated at 121k

20% of berkeley population lives below powerty level. So lets say it is 100k that are left.

36M/100k is what? $360 per person? There, I just solved Berkeley homeless problem at a price of less than 5 bottles of Napa Valley Cab per person who screamed at the sky in the city of Berkeley the day Trump became President Elect.
