Not really. Vulnerable people are already suceptable to 'cuckooing' right now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckooing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckooing As soon as you put some vulnerable people in an isolated setting, they get preyed upon by others looking to take advantage. There are many reasons why somebody would want to use somebody elses home for illegal activity, and scooping up people off the street and putting them in indivudal homes is a massive danger for those who are not able to deal with confrontation. There is already not enough staff or funding to enforce against this. A huge increase in extra housing provided for the homeless would need to come along side a much larger financial package to support the enforcement of it. This may sound like doom and gloom, but it is the not taking this into account or planning for it which has caused the downfall of most if not all housing initiatives for the homeless.

A drug raid like the ones I mentioned happened in my own community, against an apartment where I knew several of the tenants. It was tragic. I came home one night, rounded a corner, and a cop with an assault rifle suggested to me that it might be better to stay put, to which I readily agreed. Someone was stabbed on my doorstep on Holy Saturday one year, apparently about a marijuana sale. After I moved out (thank GOD), I received a notice from the courthouse that said I may be called as a witness for something I didn't remember, which came to nothing. There were a couple of shady Muslim dudes who stalked the Catholic Church I attended. One day Mr. Shady encountered me Downtown and summoned me to his home. Who knows why I agreed (well, I was homeless, hungry, and vulnerable.) At his home, I found a Quran on the shelf, a pistol under his sofa cushion when he brandished it for me, and the centerpiece was a computer he wanted me to work on and install software which was obviously pirated. He rewarded me with fried chicken. Ugh, I shiver to imagine getting caught up in that again.
