25,615 aud

Reduced crime

Individual cost

CHEAPER

60,000 aud The cost of a áťƒemergency accommodation

Others

10,800 aud/year The investment would result in savings of $10,800 per year when calculated over 20 years.

The investment in project specialized in emergency accommodation would bring out prolong economic and societal-thriving outcome.
