That would be amazing and is worth serious effort and resources. However I wonder if you could find one country that's managed to do this successfully (eradication not reduction)? It's often not really about housing and healthcare, it's about addiction, mental health, childhood trauma..

- bdangubic 11mo agoevery developed country on earth has solved this problem except us addiction, mental health, childhood drama… only in america would that lead to sleeping on the streets

- ImJamal 11mo agoThe UK and France have hundreds of thousands of homeless.
- vidarh 11mo ago"Homeless" in that sense, however, are not rough sleepers (people who actually sleep outside), which would seem to be what is meant in this context. It's by no means zero, but in autum 2024, rough sleepers were estimated at less than 4700 in the UK. That might well represent and undercount, but it is certainly nowhere remotely near the people counted as homeless, who would include anyone without a permanent address, such a people e.g. sleeping at friends places on a non-permnanet basis.

- UtopiaPunk 11mo agoJapan is remarkably close. Cuba, also, but their economic priorities are very different.
