The title of this article is “6 Best Cities To Be Homeless in the US”. The article also says that two of them have made little to no progress with their homelessness (san Diego and Berkeley). And the others are still struggling with the problem.
The article seems to answer the question of: where is it easiest to live on the street, as it mentions Berkeley and San Diego having good weather, therefore, being easier to live outside.
The only success story seems to be Houston which famously has a low cost of living. I’m not sure this qualifies as a solution to the problem.

- bradleyjg 2y agoThere’s been times and places in American history without visible street homeless. So I don’t think I’m setting an unreasonable bar for effective.

I've heard nothing but good from HF with regards to places like Finland, but this CBC report from Ottawa is grim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QMJHp7KqTg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QMJHp7KqTg
