To my mind this is an example of a failing in the federation system in the USA. First off, I hope we can agree that the homelessness problem in the US is not normal and not something a developed wealthy country should have (just so we are all on the same page). The problem I see is that no state can unilaterally fix the housing problem because if they do, the unhoused from the other states are incentivized to move to the "fixed" state, overwhelming their resources and efforts. And yet, homelessness seems to be left to the states to solve.
