The concept of externality has a specific definition and you’re not addressing housing in those terms.

I'm not sure "externality" means what you think it means.
Society being better off in many ways (more productive society, happier society, less crime-ridden society) is an example of multiple positive externalities resulting from its people being homed vs. homeless.
