The homeless argument you put forth is one concocted by somebody who's clearly never spent time in any of those shelters. Those shelters are more than overrun with people abusing the system and floating from shelter to shelter in an effort to keep some workless lifestyle. They're not a part of society worth converting on; what IS worth looking into is providing better access to/(and/or) easier solutions for the people who cannot get into these shelters because they're already overrun by addicts and chronic shelter hoppers. If there was more examination put forth on these issues than people just glazing over an article or two we might see more innovation in this space; if you ask me, that's something worthwhile. Education as a topic doesn't necessarily need to be confined to the conventional schooling system, a model which is already proven to be fairly broken (and continually deteriorating). Don't be so quick to think that the only venue for innovation on these topics is at the human potential level; you're absolutely right that people are indifferent to this - what I'm moreso surprised at is that you find that to be a reason to ignore/write-off these fields and their lack of innovation. Just because things have been done one way in the past doesn't mean it can't (or shouldn't) get turned on its head every once in awhile.
