Homelessness isn't a regional problem. It's a national problem. There needs to be an area designated for them at a a national level. Pushing people from place to place regionally is a terrible solution. An area needs to be designated for them nationally like Native American reservations when they were first created. The national solution needs to have programs to assist with addiction, mental health, and job training. This is a really national issue. There are homeless everywhere. Let's approach it together with a national area all homeless people can go to for help.

Probably would turn into concentration camp though.

  No there would be job training, substance abuse rehab, and mental health programs. Its just getting homeless off the streets nationally and getting them to one central place where all efforts can be combined. Regional approaches don't work. We have to tackle it in one place nationally. We cannot have people living on the streets who don't get help all in one place. Now people are going town to town aimlessly and without direction.

Sounds awfully like a gulag. I have to assume you're trolling.

In response to other children of this post: perhaps you can give more evidence as to how this solution would end up like the harsh imprisonment by oppressive regimes? Why do you instantly shoot down one of the only creative solutions in this entire discussion, other than trying to raise more money to throw at it (which clearly has not even begun to solve these problems).

  This solution is basically just advocating putting all the homeless in one place without discussing how to actually fix anything once they are there (will there be houses and jobs for them?), which makes it sound like it will just be one big government mandated slum

    Once they are there, the problem goes away. Like, the issue of homelessness is really about how their presence impacts the rest of us.

That's a terrible idea. A better solution is to spread them out accross the entire country so that each city has maybe only a handful of homeless people.
