Many of the visible homeless you see in cities aren't in trouble because they lack housing, they're in trouble because they have untreated mental health and drug addiction problems(which leads to their lack of housing).
Giving them temporary accomodation isn't going to make their lives better in the long term. Giving these 20k Afghans temporary accommodation may actually make their lives better while they transition to permanent housing, because homelessness is actually their biggest problem, not drugs or mental health.
