we did in the 60's/70's.

I'd say throwing more money at it ain't the solution 'cause it's been pretty fuckin terrible so far.

stop building shelters
build more supportive housing b/c a lot of folks who are homeless have other issues (mental, physical, drug abuse, etc) that need to be addressed alongside their lack of housing

build permanent low income housing or provide permanent section 8 vouchers/project based housing
