In Finland at least this was (mostly) solved by, you know, giving homeless people homes. Ones owned by municipalities. Decided by elected representatives. Who were elected by voters who care about more than their own ass on this quarter.

This is really not rocket science or fusion power stuff.

I was assuming that the original topic was about the US, so my apologies if we were just talking about different countries here. So to be more precise: Is the problem a simple one in the US? If so, what is the solution?

Or, in case you were referring to Finland's solution being a solution "template" for the US, what are the steps to implement that solution in the US?
