TLDR: Landry spent $16 million to rehouse less than 200 homeless people for 2 months ahead of the Superbowl. The contract went to a company owned by one of his biggest donors which is owned by a private equity firm.

This is the shelter. An old warehouse surrounded by a barbed-wire topped fence. The bathrooms aren't working at the moment and people are having to using outdoor toilets.
