You can give them all the housing in the world, the problem is can they keep it? Many of the homeless aren't contributors to society. Heard of squatters?

He didn't say charge them rent. He said give them housing. This works and is cheaper to society than leaving them on the street.
Most homeless are temporarily homeless. It is very hard to get a job without an address, clean clothes, and a shower every day.

As stated most of the homeless people aren't down on their luck. They're mentally unstable. They have to be put in a secure facility 1st with rules they have to abide by, then work on getting them housing.
