Not really. It's now super-reductive, with basically two major causes that keep people getting into unsheltered homelessness: drugs and mental health issues.
Any plan to combat homelessness must tackle these two issues. Now try my local homelessness graft agency's website: https://kcrha.org/data-overview/ https://kcrha.org/data-overview/ and look for their approach to mental health and drug abuse.

They are basically a rounding error at this point.

Yes, they're a topic of sensationalism that helps to direct public anger at the groups rather than more systemic solutions which would help the victims and expose the criminals.
