    I guess but then you have to stop expanding what they mean by the solution. You’re not partitioning the statement of the problem any further but you’re seemingly appending “forever” to the end of the solution as well as other problems that go along with homelessness. $30,000 each is enough to get every currently homeless person in the US some form of legal shelter, by definition ending homelessness in the US, however briefly.

      Also true, but only if you can locate every single homeless person in the country. Though I’m not sure I would consider “legal shelter” a high enough bar to consider homelessness solved for that person, even for a short duration. At minimum, I think it would require them to have control of some sort of “permanent” residence, such as a month to month rental. Not simply space at a shelter.
