You're setting an impossible precondition.
Nobody is ever going to give the homeless people sufficient aid; not only does it create peculiar incentives / traps at the margin, but it also isn't necessarily what homeless people would choose with their own free will. Not everyone willingly chooses to live in an institutional bureaucratic system when a freer life is still a possibility.
Refugees should be allowed to work. Finding homes for them and subsidising them without letting them work is a dreadful approach which will create even more problems.
