From the article:

They are getting $100k (half from Salvation Army and half from the city). Here is how they are spending it.

$60k for a program manager
$20k for administrative expenses

The remainder will be spent to employee 6 homeless people at a time for 90 days. Well, 2 days a week for 90 days at a time.

And the whole thing only runs from Feb - Sep.
