1. Cost.
2. Equity.
3. Feasibility.
4. Appropriateness.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. The primary issue with creating homeless accommodations that serve only a male population is that of equity. Health policy needs to reflect equitable distribution of resources. While cost, feasibility, and appropriateness may factor into this, equity is the primary concern.
