For Christ's sake, give them and all Americans a guaranteed income so we never have to sleep in the streets. We do that much for convicted criminals.

I hate to rain on every ones parade but a basic income wouldn't eliminate homelessness

What we need to do is re-open the mental health hospitals, and start rounding up the large percentage of the homeless who belong in one

Certain people will prioritise buying drugs over sleeping in a bed. Give them more money and they'll take more drugs.
