    I didn't know that, but I do know that homelessness isn't just a housing problem. A huge number of cases are more mental health related: E.g. even if the person had money they wouldn't be able to live in a stable home. Because the root cause of their lack of money and homelessness is mental health. I would also consider drug addiction to be a mental health issue here by the way which would be a significant percentage of the homeless too.

    And that is of course heavily associated with the lack of affordable mental healthcare in the US :( And drug addiction care.

    Of course if you would give out housing you would save a lot of homeless, just saying it wouldn't work for all.
