Ugly truth in any western country is the mental health issue. Here in Poland (i'm certain in USA is the same) many homeless people are mentally ill and refuses help in many cases. Also they get aggressive with people. Without those problems it would be much easier to help them.

The solution to the problem is to eliminate the stigma of mental health issues, to subsidise mental health therapies, and educate people about the signs of deteriorating mental health so they can seek help earlier. If people can be helped before they're homeless then they'd never become a homeless person. That's better for everyone. I strongly suspect this would be incredibly hard to implement in any country that doesn't have a national health service though, and even if a country does it'd still be difficult.
