Skid Row is literal hell on Earth. I'm sure this has been tried and failed. There is so much going on when it comes to renting a place, you need to be able to hold a job and prove it, you need to be a good tenant and a good neighbor, etc., and failing at anyone of these might mean problems and then another downward spiral ending on the streets. Unless we're talking about paying the rest of their lives and giving them free housing for life, they will have to learn a bunch of skills everyone else takes for granted. People need to start admitting the limitations of government when it comes to solving certain problems. Government programs, which are both complicated and ineffective at the same time, don't have the capacity to see homelessness as the human problem that it is, and instead wants to solve it through infrastructure and bureaucracy.
