If we do that:
* Corporations would only ever hire there for cheap labor, if they hire there at all. Now these people are never going to escape poverty.
* The state would raise little tax revenue, and it will be easy for other states to reduce funding (and thus offering their own voters tax cuts). So no services there could be funded.
* The people there would be moved away from any remaining support network they do have. Again, this worsens poverty but also seriously hurts mental health.
* Why would the doctors, nurses, case workers, engineers, tradespeople and other non-homeless people your plan depends on move to a place being filled with the worst conditions and inevitably starved of funding?
* Likely many homeless people would not voluntarily join this program, so you're also going to require criminalizing vagrancy and forced relocation. This is a huge violation of their rights.
There's a reason homeless people aren't moving to West Virginia on their own.
