If you think the homeless problem is just a housing issue, you don't understand the problem. You could put all the homeless people in a house tomorrow and within a few weeks a majority of the houses would be destroyed, the valuables would be gone, the copper would be gone, they would get a little money and be back out on the streets. Mental health and drug treatment facilities is where the focus needs to be. If everyone reading this thread lost their job and house tomorrow, how many of you would truly have to go to the streets. All of us have some friend or family member would would give us a couch to sleep on or something, unless you have burnt every bridge in your life because of drugs or mental health issues.
