Indeed, in the US anyways it's not a problem of not enough houses. There are something like 6 times as many empty homes as homeless people. To combat homelessness it might be better to focus on mental healthcare and substance abuse.

yea, but idk how many of those houses are in good condition in county land banks, news super cheap houses constructed in some hinterland could help alleviate homelessness--at least if combined with the resources to enable all to purchase leases/mortgages
but who would want to live in some hinterland? they want to live in Anaheim and that is the problem. They could rent a nice 3 bedroom detached house with a garage in Modesto for like $1000 a month
and they could rent to own for that kind of money outside of where everyone wants to live. Interesting issues,
yup, or you could buy a house in Detroit for a dollar. But they want to live in Southern California near the coast.
yea detroit could be cool if the house is decent condition at least
to get a good one it is probably like $8.
