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.

    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.
