Get them off the streets and into a place where there can be a strong incentive to play by the rules of a civilized society; the rest is just a matter of fine-tuning.

Do you ask them nicely? Use physical force?
Yu begin with what's known as vagrancy statute; they were quite common in an era when adult men outnumbered adult women and family structure was stronger. We don't need to revert to something quite that harsh, but a basic contract of social (and societal) responsibility needs to be re-formulated and re-established.

Set up an environment such that businesses can create jobs. At that point the "homeless" have 2 choices, get a job and become a useful member of society. Or set up some camps in the desert with lots of barbed wire. OK, 3rd choice for the mentally ill-increase the number of asylums we have to provide help for those that truly need it. Clean up the streets and get the bums out. More important-instill some degree of shame for being a bum. Far too many are choosing this as a lifestyle.

Not a conservative, but the correct answer is always private charity.
I am a Conservatarian, and that's what I think also. Salvation Army is one of the best as are religious based charities. United Way is a scam. Also get them into AA, and rehab programs.
