Our assessments show
a minimum of 20% can be realized by governments on
social housing costs within the United States and in
many larger cities as much as 38+ percent.
Using the 20%
estimate, nation wide between the Federal, State and
Municipal governments savings in excess of 100 billion
annually can become a reality such savings could be put
to better use for debt reduction, infrastructure or job
creation programs.

If the Ayess Housing
Solution were adopted in New York, in just two years they could
eliminate the homeless problem they face and by the third year potentially save over $ 700 million dollars a year in payouts. That
works out to
over $ 7 Billion in Savings
by year 13 for just New York alone.
