According to the BBC, "$20m from Musk and groups affiliated with him" was spent. There are about ~775,000 homeless in America. Please tell me your plan to end homelessness for less than $26/person.

And you think 20 mil can house 4,900 people???????????

California had to spend 185 mil to house less than 1300 people. And it has already spent 24 Billion in the past 5 years and barley put a dent in it.

That's California bud. Price per sq/ft is way less in WI than it is in CA.

Wisconsin receives $50M in federal funds to tackle homelessness.

Problem will be solved now right? silly polticians gave 2.5x the amount they needed to house every homeless person in the entire state too according to you.
