There are many more problems homeless have than not owning a home. Just providing shelter they can call home doesn't solve the rest.
So let's not try to solve any of their problems, because there would still be other problems to solve?
That's not what I said. However other issues might negate the solution of the first. Our government tried to solve issues in similar way and provided fully equipped container apartments with water, electricity and furniture. You'd think problem solved but in reality people just ripped everything out they could, sold it for cash and bolted. I suspect similar thing might happen, especially with those who have some sort of addiction.
Solving their situation is a difficult challenge which is more complex than just not having home. Problem needs to be solved systematically and elsewhere. Homelessness is just a final state of long chain of issues.
