Give them food and help them find a job

but arrest for multiple nuisance citations (loitering, begging, public urination, etc).
You don’t understand how crowded our jails already are. They are doing things like letting people steal and not taking them in but you want to take them in for public urination and shite? Lol

What can actually be done about homeless people?
Vols&Shaft solved this problem years ago.
Feed the homeless people to other homeless people. Eventually the remaining few will starve to death.

Nothing. Unless you put them in a psych ward.
The large psych facilities were mostly closed during the Reagan administration when they changed Medicare to limit the days, and also eliminated direct subsidies. However, several continued to operate almost unchanged in Louisiana into the late 1990s. My first job out of college regularly took me into East Louisiana State Hospital in Jackson and Central in Pineville.
At that time the wards were well populated with people who had been there for years and couldn’t function outside. I met one patient who would stabilize on meds at East for a couple of months and get discharged, do ok for months or a year or so outside, then go off his meds and walk the highways, like to Shreveport or St. Louis and back, homeless. When things got really bad for him, he would always walk back to the gate at East, emaciated and weathered, to stabilize again.
Those places were housing facilities which provided protective custody to that segment of the human population. There were no family options for those folks.
That’s all gone. I’d guess that everyone they turned out is homeless now.

Stop giving NARCAN to anyone over 18.
Much of the mental problems are due to drug use.
The ones that have mental problems due to non-drug related issues, set up medical facilities for them.

The ones overdosing made the choice to go down that path at some point. If they are to the point of needing NARCAN then they probably are going to keep using until they die anyway.

It's a problem that no one wants to address.
One of the problems is a percentage of them are homeless by choice whether they are avoiding being arrested or whatever.
I had a homeless guy that used to call me if someone came on the property at work and I'd drive up and check everything out and give him a 6 pack for letting me know.
He was homeless because he'd not paid income taxes in so many years, hopped a train one night while working as a carny and never looked back. Dude loved it.
We do need to do something about the mentally ill that are homeless(plus the mentally ill that aren't) but it seems no one wants to address what really needs to happen and that is put them in institutions.

I just have empathy for people “lower than me” and don’t think letting them die is the answer. Sorry. We just gonna stop pumping stomachs and let more people die of alcohol poisoning. Shut down AA?

This is what happens when you quit funding mental institutions and turn them out on the street...
And they've gotten to multiply a couple generations since...
Not just women either. its a type of people. beginning to become physically recocnizable

No. Arrest for drugs, loitering, public indecency, etc.
Yea, prisons are over crowded and mental hospitals are practically extinct... but what else are you going to do? Motivational talks? Shoot them?
