We're a country of 350,000,000 people. Leaving 500,000 outside simply because municipalities don't want them around is inexcusable.

Solution in two parts

1. Make it legal to build homes where people live (looking at you California, specifically LA, SF, SV)

2. Build dorm style shelters for anyone that would otherwise sleep outside

There's complicating issues like not enough addiction treatment and mental health facilities, but neither of those is improved by leaving people to sleep on the street.
