"Tiny homes" do not solve the particular strain of homelessness that is most visible and are likely to make people angry about funding any real solution in the future. In addition, if you solve the most visible homeless, you reduce pressure on the homeless support systems, and the invisible homeless have a much easier time of it.
Almost 3/4 of the homeless have fairly significant medical issues. You need a free medical facility for them--nothing short of that is going to help. A medical facility for the homeless is expensive, or it devolves into a dystopian nightmare.
The reality is that we know what a lot of the homeless need. We know it is expensive. We choose not to fund or create it because the status quo is so much cheaper.
