Metro Phoenix could save millions of dollars of taxpayer money per year by providing supportive housing to people with chronic mental illnesses like schizophrenia, according to a new report out of Arizona State University.
The report from the university s Morrison Institute for Public Policy found that it is almost 30% cheaper to provide housing to people with serious chronic mental illness than it is to allow them to become homeless.
Most significantly, a person s health care costs decreased by almost $20,000 per year when they were living in a housing program that provides on-site behavioral and medical supports, the report found.
