Homelessness is a persistent problem.

 It's a persistent, gigabuck industry.

Providing places for people to live is a major industry.
Looking after people who can't afford housing is a problem all societies tackle, some quite a lot more effectively than others.
Governments that call themselves socialists tend make more of a fuss about getting the homeless off the streets. Western European socialists governments tend to have enough tax revenue to be able to do an effective job.
Sweden is unique in getting much the same outcomes for children of single parent families as you see for children whose parents have stayed together, but most Western European countries do better than the USA.
