IANAP (...Not A Politician) - but you seem unfamiliar with NIMBY's, gentrification, voter behavior, the perverse incentives created by both property-tax-funded government and real-estate-as-an-invesment, and the various problems which are generally associated (rightly and wrongly) with very poor residents.
Assuming that you live in a country both large and "advanced" enough to have a serious problem with homelessness, your country also has lots of advocates for housing the homeless - with thoughts and feelings similar to yours, but (sadly) much more experience with how those things play out locally, to fill you in on the all the details.
Those local-to-you advocates for housing the homeless are doubtless also eager for donors, volunteers, voters who'll support their efforts, or any other contribution which you might be able to make...
