Project Background

• Cost of a funeral for a homeless person:

The average cost for the funeral of a homeless person is $7,000. There is often no family to be claimed and expenses fall onto the city. Annual expenses for the county, city and hospitals could be over 60,000,000.

• Statistics on homeless in Rapid City:

Poverty rate for Rapid City: 16 percent Poverty rate for all of South Dakota: 14.1 percent Native American poverty rate in Rapid city: 50.9 percent (One of the highest in the country) The number of homeless increased by over 100 people last year, now estimated at around 2,000 people.
