Give them places to live and teach them to grow food which will help pay for the whole thing. It may not work for all of them but maybe it would help 35% or so of them? That’s a shitload more than we seem able to help now.

Its kind of tricky, the homeless are quite a diverse population from people just down on their luck to hard drug users with nothing to lose to violent assholes to people with mental health issues/impairments. There is’t a one size fits all problem. you can’t put such a mix of people together with the one commonality of them being homeless and expect everything to work out, they all have very different needs. Some people might make it out ok if you gave them a couple grand and temporary shelter to get them back on their feet, others might need long term care/support their whole lives and others might need institutionalization. I don’t know what the answer is.
The answer is starting with the couple thousand and temp shelter and then providing additional services as needed if that isn’t enough.
The answer to avoiding a lot of the homelessness in the first place is universal basic income, universal single payer healthcarr, and decriminalizing drugs use. That requires treating non-wealthy people like people so we won’t do it in the US, but we could mitigate a massive amount of honelessness by not driving people to the streets in the first place.
