Regarding homelessness, perhaps the following idea might be useful:
If we looked at the operating budgets of every organization that helped the homeless, we’d probably see that although this work provides employment for a lot of people, that there is inefficiency and overlap, because the organizations are each having to "reinvent the wheel".
My guess us that the expenditure per capita for each homeless person is high and that there is room for a lot of streamlining if the organizations could work together in a better coordinated way.
This is a vague idea, but instead of the city doing all of the work of analysis and coordination, maybe the city government could help bring people together so that they can figure out on their own how to coordinate better among themselves. If the city provided a constant forum for organizations to be well acquainted with each other, then maybe greater efficiency would result; in other words, people would be working not harder but smarter.
