Easy. But you won’t like it.

Eliminate minimum wage and most worker protections. Make lawsuits more difficult. Eliminate all non private handouts. Remove most restrictions on housing density. Lower tax rates.

Basically be Hong Kong back before China took over.

Only the most severe cases will end up on street.

Everyone else will have some level of income and housing will be cheap.

Private charity can handle the most extreme cases.

Only the most extreme cases would end up on the street because the rest will die. That's a fundamentally antisocial approach that will lead to people being exploited to death.
