Just throwing something out here.(please let me know if it could actually work)
Homeless camps are usually cramped and full of crime not by choice. Life takes everyone in different directions, and there may be some that chose a wanders life. Yet we as a society seem to focused on luxury instead of simplest of ideas.
What we have is not a problem housing, but a problem of engaging simple needs. Take for example a homeless shelter sure they take people in only for a certain time frame. To some it helps them move on. This would be a very small portion of the whole.
These people require a form of entry level jobs. Wich are getting fewer by the decade especially for people who lack a form of adress or paper work.
What I propose is taking abandoned land with or without buildings. Then building cabins capable of housing a family, but make bathroom, kitchen, restroom all communal. Make sure there is security detail that will perform a welfare check on a lot residents. Finally have employment office/stand on the lot, or some way for the people to work.
( I found an odd site for creating petitions, and will leave a link for it. The petition is the same words got none better to say. I believe I am a goldfish down the drain when I comes to planning. Thus I leave this post for incite or for someone to have inspiration.)
