How would you explain homelessness in countries with much better access to mental health services? Homelessness is a combination of issues like mental health services, housing prices, social safety nets, and much, much more.
The real question scares people to even think about: what is the real price of ending the homeless epidemic and are we as a society actually willing to pay it? What if housing prices had to cut in half and taxes had to double? What if funding had to increase by 50x? What if 1:5 families had to accept a homeless person into their spare bedroom?

Nobody wants to admit it, but most of the problems that the non-homeless experience with the homeless are related to drug use and mental health issues.
