> The problem is the money is going to the wrong people. There are a lot of good and honest people that are homeless and/or struggling to pay their rent. Andre isn't one of them. Andre gets his housing for free while other people freeze and are basically forced to kill themselves. Why is that?

Actually, the easy homeless cases (people who lack housing but can still work because they are not addicted to drugs/mentally ill/etc...) can already handled fairly effectively by social services. But as you point out, they aren't able to discriminate between them and the harder homeless cases (people who are addicted to drugs/mentally ill/etc...), and treating homeless problems homogeneously means throwing a lot of money away.
