I think the solution has to be to lure them back into society by offering jobs. There's always work to be done in any major city, but there's no work to do unless they have a Labor Ready or other daily work program.
We should look at homelessness in a city from a positive perspective, an overflowing of human resources. Teams can be formed and clean up grafati and litter clean up. Do community rejunivatuon projects like painting landscaping and building community farms and gardens.
That's one part of the puzzle the other problem is that a lot of homeless people do work and can't afford a place to live. Personally I've had hundereds of dollars in my pockets, full time jobs and a place to live alluded me, or it was just too expensive and I felt like working and spending most of my money on an apartment, climbing the corporate latter wasn't beneficial to myself or humanity.
The city I live in has good policies regarding helping homelessness. The problem, is that every city around us, including Indianapolis, ships their homeless here. It is a classic tragedy of the commons. And any solution that doesn't account for the game theory applications is doomed to fail for those very reason.
