People love conflating people living on the streets as just homeless, but the approach to solve the problem really requires two solutions. The first is to provide housing for the people mentally capable of taking care of themselves. The rest require either public housing in a facility that can take care of them (abandoned mentally ill) or rehab programs that will hopefully help addicts recover and reestablish themselves. The mentally ill and addicts will not be able to function with just free housing.
