So just build houses for the homeless and then they won't be homeless anymore,

No.  There will *still* be homeless people, regardless of the level of
support that you provide.
Unless you resort to "institutionalizing" people "for their own good".
Housing needs to be *affordable* and sited in locations that folks
will be comfortable living (and MAKING a living).  No one wants to
"invest" in places where the only folks who will want to habitate
can't afford to provide sufficient profit for the investor -- esp
if there are other places where they can make a bigger, quicker buck!
A lot of "charity" produces little "result".  We've canvased lots
of them with an eye towards our estate planning.  If you hold
their feet to the fire and ask for documented results of their
past efforts, most will timidly admit that they haven't met
their own stated goals!

only temporary?  What is the 'lifetime maintenance cost' for these

something WRONG??"]

depriving said "gigabuck industry" of their revenue. Of course, conservatives aren't a fan of that idea, either.
 No actual ideas, just complaints, lists of enemies, and conspiracy theories.
