They would just steal more.

Also soup kitchens/feeding stations need to be stopped immediately. If someone wants to feed the needy, it needs to be done directly in their community. "Do gooders" coming in from the burbs and feeding homeless in the bad parts of the city make the problem worse.
Can you elaborate?

Jail or a sanitarium. Lock them up.
Come up with whatever ways you want to keep them from becoming homeless, but once they're there, put them somewhere else until they can figure it out.

How many decades have we had for some humanitarian politician to correct the problem?

While it is a drop in the bucket...there should be more options out there to help out homeless veterans. Of the estimated 33,000 homeless veterans, over 10,000 of them live in California.

It wasn’t all that long ago where we actually did that. When we stopped caring is when homelessness and crime started destroying our cities and communities.
It’s a LOT less difficult to figure the answers to homelessness, crime, litter, a dilapidated infrastructure, filth and grime, graffiti, and the like than it is to find people willing to do something about it.

Open up the old military bases out west. Take the homeless there and put them to work building their own town. Build a school there and hospital. Treat it like any other military base with military MP's there to maintain order with zero slack given.
Have the best addiction treatments available, and vocational education for once they've kicked it. Teach them a trade they can support themselves on. Eventually they transition back to the world and take care of themselves. If they don't, then they're stuck at the base. Still a better existence than what's happening now.

Once of the reasons you see such a push against private prisons is that in states like California, prison workers are huge and influential lobby. They support public owned prisons and tougher crime laws (gotta keep the population up).

Agreed. At some point we have to quit worrying about their wishes and make tough decisions for them since they obviously cant. Mandatory homeless shelters are the only way to clean up the streets. Give them the treatment they need if possible to get them healthy and productive, and if not keep them there for the safety of the general public. Similar to jail, except with the option to get cleaned up, be produtive and get out.

What did the first century Christians do when Nero burned the place to the ground? They watched it burn.
Jesus would probably provide them with fish and bread, but He certainly wouldn’t feed their addictions by giving them money. He would also tell them the truth about their sin conditions and offer them a way out of it as He does still today, not sugar coat it, or condone them sleeping outside of businesses and doing their business on the streets either. That’s not poor. That’s messed up in the head.

Jesus could do that because he could miracle it. We mortals don't have that option.
Charity starts at home. Take care of #1 yourself, #2 your family, #3 your friends, #4 your neighbors, and if you still have more take-care-of energy left, #5 volunteer or donate to charities.
If people just did #1-#3, there'd be very few homeless people in this country.

Many who are homeless are self medicating with mental issues. Jimmy Carter passed the best mental health bill in the history of the USofA and Ronnie killed it when he got in office. To add insult to injury Ronnie signed the laws to close the long term locked care facilitates that treated the population that needed it and converted to mental health care by police. Not only does it not work, but it also costs about 8 x of the old long term locked facilities.
Hey, we privatized jail / prison under Ronnie and they had to fill the beds some way.
Reagan was a great great President, but he had two massive frickups.
This one, and immigration.

Since new world order wants less population, off them all, around the world, and sink California with all of its people. Now gets what it wants
