Take care of the mentally ill, provide a basic income and affordable housing for the financially less of, provide shelters for those who suddenly need it (e.g. after an eviction, or because of abuse), don’t jail people for minor things such as drugs use, don’t put a stigma on criminals who have served their time. That should get us close, but I don’t think it is possible to reach zero homelessness. There always will be some vagabonds who will wander around from short temporary job to short temporary job, and occasionally will sleep on the street. Always give them the option of temporary shelter, a place to clean them up, but as long as they don’t do harm to society, don’t force them to have a home.
