We've created a fucked up society, there will always be people who pass on it for one reason or another.
And we'll never be rid of junkies, humans just don't work that way. The only legit homeless problem that falls to you to solve is if you find yourself homeless. |

Quoted: The left's answer to ending homelessness has been trying to spend their way out of the problem and letting the homeless take over cities. What kind of realistic solution would you have to fix homelessness in a city?  Sam Kinison - The Homeless |

Reinstate mental hospitals
Arrest vagrants and bums just drunk/high and sleeping on park benches. Arrest them when they trespass and steal. This will open up available beds and services for the small minority of truly homeless people who are temporarily down on their luck and need a helping hand to get back on track. |

In a more serious reply, the issue isn't homelessness. The issue is mental health (and to a lesser extent, drug use. Which is more often than not tied to the mental health issue)
the vast majority of homeless aren't that way because they couldn't pay the rent. They're homeless because they have mental health issues that prevent them from keeping a job or residence. And to deal with the mental health issue they self-medicate. Figure out a way to force treatment on them and you'll solve a great deal of your homeless problem. |

Bring back asylums. Use to be every town had one. Medication alone has been a failure. I’m not saying the severely mentally ill have to live at the asylum their whole life but inpatient mental health care essentially is non-existent these days. Last I checked Kentucky, with a population of around 4.5 million has less than 1000 public mental health beds.

FPNI.
But seriously, I really believe that homelessness in this country is a choice. There are so many different groups, ranging from Christian to super woke, looking to help these people out with temporary housing, assistance, meals, help finding jobs, etc. but the issue is some people just don’t want the help. They want the freedom to continue to lay around and abuse drugs and alcohol and generally do whatever the F they want. So it just is what it is, you can’t even really help them because you can’t rehabilitate someone who doesn’t want help. Some people just want to get wasted until they die. Your choices are pretty much live with it, or lock them up, doesn’t matter how much money you toss at the problem. |

Most homelessness is mental illness or addiction. Re-open state mental institutions and treatment centers. Mandatory commitments for being a danger to themselves and others. This solves 90% of the problem.
For the remaining 10%- Cities get two zones: heavy industrial and everything else. Allow mixed use commercial, light manufacturing, and residential of all types. Greatly eliminate building codes and inspections, leave that up to lenders primarily. Allow very small lots for people who want to start in tiny houses. Do not allow excessive hookup, improvement, or permit fees. Begin re-use of abandoned rail rights of ways which have been turned into bike or pedestrian trails, allow private companies to use them for private mass transit. For example, in WA allow re-development of the old Milwaukee route to create highspeed rail. Allow public land (such as national forest) to be developed along this route at stops such as Rattlesnake Lake, Snoqualmie Pass, Easton, Cle Elum, Ellensburg and further east. |

Some of them it is as I have been told by a few, their lifestyle choice.
If the bleeding hearts would stop giving them money when they beg it would be a start. The country though has to spend more on mental health for long-term subjects. |

This question (what to do with the homeless) is staggering in its implications. You first must decide who "the homeless" are. Are they the drunks staggering down the street? Or the mom of 2, trying to get into a shelter? Or (as one Arfcommer pointed out) are they the lady in a very nice car, who slept in her car on his cul-de-sac, and evidently got her shower in a local park or somewhat? Every one of them has his own story. |

Everything else has a fee, where's the fees for the decriminalized drugs? |

We need lunatic asylums and an easier method of involuntary commitment. But people don't want that, so the lunatics are roaming the streets. And yes, in 2021, not voting for democrats = lunatic.

Technically they are 'house-less'. They have made their 'home' where they be.
The solution? Enforce vagrancy laws and send them to the Socialist Democrats houses. |

You will never fix homelessness completely.
One way to help lower homelessness is to get the unemployment rate as low as possible while getting the workforce participation rate as high as possible. The only way to do this is to stop importing uneducated 3rd worlders, stop unfair trade deals to the US, and eliminate our easily scammed welfare system so able bodied people have to work if they want to eat. |
