That's the problem, not the achievement. I learned in detail how problem of homelessness was tackled in Belarus. It really worked there. For all the nasty stuff about Lukashenka (and no i am not a Commie), he got it right.
Homelessness is a kind of criminal behavior and/or mental condition. People are homeless not because they are poor (nearly everyone in Belarus is poor for that matter, but there are almost no homeless), it is a delinquency, anti-social behaviour, a voluntary choice to live an anti-social lifestyle rejecting norms. It has to be deterred, and it's not hard to deter: bums hate prisons, because their lifestyle is all about absolute rejection of any norms and rules at all, absolute, limitless freedom - and prison is the opposite of that, it makes you follow very strict rules - so even as it gives a free bed and free food, bums are afraid of getting there.
