Also, the "build more homes" makes a big assumption about _where_ the homes should be built. There are already small towns across the US where homes are ridiculously cheap because no one wants to move there, and in fact people are moving out. If you were to spread the homeless out around towns such as those (or create a new small town a couple hours away from a big city) you'd end up with a lot of supply. Now, would the homeless be willing to move to such a place to get a home? The ones who really want to pull themselves up probably would.
