The private sector already helps them. I'm not an expert on it. If the market demand is there supply will follow.
You're a private individual with rights. If it's important to you that the homeless be cared for you'll have to put market pressure on others to convince them to take action. Put your skills, persuasion talents, and imagination on said market and good luck. You'll be competing with a host of other causes/products/services. It's natural law.
Street people have no money, they get no mental health care. So um...is Trump planning to arrange a lot of charities? Maybe a 5k run for the homeless?
If they do, they need to start by getting rid of the current Mayor and Chief of Police, all the way up to the current governor. Those right there would be a very good start, yielding very solid and positive results.
“ They” have no authority to get rid of the mayor, chief of police or governor.
But let’s assume for a moment “ they” could, then what?
This issue is very much tied in with the mass-shooting discussions.
Mental Health is a HUGE problem in this country.
We have the money and resources to make the necessary changes to fix a large percentage of these. But it will take us expanding our socialist programs to cover health care costs, specifically mental health.
Now, as a country that claims to be made up of Christian Values, that shouldn't be an issue. But as a country filled with people who worship the almighty dollar, I don't know if we have the balls to make those changes.
Being homeless is a very traumatic experience. If a homeless person didn't have mental health issues before they became homeless then the person will often have issues develop while he/she is out there.
The reason Reagan got closed down inpatient care facilities was they were very expesive and low/no profit.
Homelessness and drug addiction and mass murders are just a few of the unintended consequences.

The problem with this is it would cost tax money. I agree with you completely by the way, but do you think this is what Trump has in mind, cause it would be very expensive and not that his base would ever leave him...
Use existing government lands and facilities to house them. Have those on welfare, food stamps, and other government giveaway programs work there to keep them clean and disease free.
I said that they are tied together because of the common link of mental health issues. If we fix the mental health problem in this country we can realistically eliminate a large percentage of homelessness and mass shootings.
Why does it matter how many were homeless?
