Homelessness is generally not caused by a lack of homes. Providing homes works well for those who are homeless for economic reasons. It works very poorly for those who are homeless for reasons of drugs/alcohol or mental illness.

If you give the homeless homes they aren't homeless anymore, they are merely drug addicts at that point.

Except they're likely to sell anything detachable to get money for their addiction and they're likely to wreck the place anyway.

It's worse for them than not having housing at all? I find that hard to believe.
