This is a price of 200m^2 flat in the center of Saint Petersburg, Russia. With ~same prices for food that makes ~x3 to the price of food.

In what world this is ok for homeless to pay that much?

Finnish social welfare includes free medical/dental care and drugs. The social welfare and housing support total about 1200€ / month. So after bills, they have between 400-700€ / month for food, clothing etc. It's not anything fancy, but it will keep you off the streets, begging.
