In the US it’d depend per state. Somewhere expensive could need up to $1700 just to rent a shitshack and keep the lights on.
Would probably be better just to cease hostile architecture, and to seize/buy out complexes to turn them into rehab shelters where you get access to food, bed, shower, basic healthcare, and laundry as long as you’re employed or looking for work. Maybe combine it with voc rehab. We’d have the money to do this and more if so much of it wasn’t locked up in shareholder value and hoarded there by the wealthy. Nothing will ever get solved as long as hard work is exploited by those who don’t really work at all.

750 a month isn't even enough to pay rent and would take months

the key to solving homelessness is an overwhelming supply of high density housing that is not treated as a financial investment for private interests, combined with large scale expanstion of mental health facilities and legal infrastructure for involuntary confinement

Infinite money couldn't end homelessness. ALL long term homeless people are homeless by choice. Every town in America has dozens of charities and non-profits specifically for the purpose of trying to give food, housing, clean clothes, healthcare, rehab, job training, etc to homeless people. These programs have ridiculously fair rules like "no raping in the shelter" or "don't smoke crack in the halfway house" and homeless people would rather live on the street than follow those rules.
Anyone who is temporarily homeless due to bad luck or losing their job will take advantage of those programs and will quickly be back on their feet. Literally all long term homeless are homeless by choice.

>>
>>532236468
$750 is quite a bit in liqour and smokes, if they are doing hard drugs, itll be gone in a weekend, no amount of money will end homelessness because you don't understand the problem, these people live on the street because they have given up, burned every bridge with their family because of addiction and are incapable of managing their own lives, throwing money and even housing won't fix them, only incarceration, followed by structure and mandatory work along with forced abstaination from drugs and alcohol can help them. Anything less will never solve the problem.

>>532237498
i cant really agree. if you make housing abundant and available for every functional person to acquire, and involuntarily imprison everyone else in mental health facilities, the homeless problem would be solved over night

which is why you have a two pronged attack to address homelessness

for group 1 you make housing so readily available that there is no excuse for any functional person to be homeless

everyone else who is still homeless despite overt accessibility is then involuntarily confined in an asylum indefinitely until they become functional

They already have help in multiple forms. Most people get by without that help. If you still can't make it with the help provided, you probably can't make it with any kind of help. Some people (whether fairly or unfairly) just aren't going to make it no matter what, so "ending homelessness" is an intentionally impossible goal put forth just to siphon more tax dollars into someone's (not homeless) pocket. Just like ending gun violence, ending child hunger, etc... Even if you did end it, eventually space on this earth is going to run out so what are you going to do then? How about "end poor retards fucking like rabbits"? That would go a lot further to solve the world's problems.

because the roman empire collapsed and housing was a major contributing factor in its downfall.

No amount will. You could give them a house and food and they'd still being cracked out 24/7

>>532237789
They would have to be segregated from the general public in a sort of barracks where they are not free to leave, if you allow them freedom of movement they will continue the behaviors that made them homeless, without that it will be a shithole, it has to be pretty much a loose form of incarceration and non voluntary.
>>
Most homeless are mentally ill and they don't want any solutions.
>>
>>532236468
you can absolutely end homelessness for $750 per month per homeless.
option 1: live in the dorm (mental hospital) for free. there are many levels of dormatory, the lowest is basically the same as any studio apartment.
option 2: forced exile to the wilderness
there you go. homelessness solved overnight.

Housing means you build houses, not prisons and labor camps.
It doesn't matter, between the FED manipulating the value of money and excessive taxes there will always be a certain percentage of people in poverty. This is intentional. You would have to kill the central bank and the IRS to even begin to tackle homeless.
>>
>>532237759
>What does mental health and involuntary confinement have to do with homelessness?

it has everything to do with it retard,

some people who end up homeless are just down on their luck and no different than you ori, yea, thats why step 1 is to make housing as accessible as possible, so any functional person ho just got unlucky or made a mistake can access it

most people who end up homeless are not just down on their luck though, they are literally schizophrenic or suffer from any number of other psychological disorders or are addicts.

these people will not be able to take care of themselves even if you plop a free house right in front of them, which is why they need to be involuntarily confined where they can be be taken care of by others


>You sound like a psychopath.
no, youre just retarded. the entire point of this approach is that it is based on empathy and sincere good will
>>
>>53223818
that's not true
Housing is an issue due to corporations and big business propping up inflated prices in order to secure financial security because houses are now being utilized as assets that appreciate in value and thus a long term investment that can be bought and sold but never properly utilized or else it will depreciate.

Don't pretend its the IRS doing that. That's construction companies, manufacturing, procurement, real estate companies, and companies themselves holding onto assets that they cant properly use (homes).

More like you need laws preventing everyone but US citizens and only US citizens from buying Homes in the US.

A huge percentage have drug problems. Many won't accept a place to stay if it requires being drug free. Many won't accept free rehab. I'd say mental illness is a strong #2 reason however if you consider being a drug addict a type of mental illness then mental illness is the number 1 reason of homelessness.

The first step of recovery for anyone is admitting they have a problem and some don't believe they have a problem they believe others are the problem

Over eighty percent of the homeless who remain homeless for more than five years are found to have had crippling mental illnesses before they became homeless every time the statistics are taken. The homeless population shit up by exact proportion to the closures of asylums. We took an imperfect system and replaced it with nothing at all.

Those people are not "savable" they can either be on the street or in asylums, both of which have downsides. They can also be dead, but that's usually seen as unconscionable.

You can't end homelessness with handouts. They WANT to be homeless. They can get high all day, never go to work, never have any responsibilities. They just get free housing, free food, free money, and get to spend it all on drugs. You can end homelessness and drug addiction by ending the enabler programs that make it possible to live this way. There's no rock bottom or road to recovery as long as the state enables permanent addiction.

Economic measures such as removing brownoids can lower the amount of the "temporarily" homeless, people without a home for under five years, but does functionally nothing for the "chronically" homeless, which despite being a minority of the homeless, are all people really think about when it comes to homelessness.

The chronically homeless are exclusively people who would have otherwise been in Asylums in the past, or the most extreme degree of drug addicts. These people cannot be turned into normal citizens. They can be trundled off to asylums against their will, killed, or ignored, but not significantly altered, outside of the relatively small proportion that can be corrected with surgery, heavy medication, etc.

>>532236468
Believing homelessness is an economic problem might be the most bluepilled normie libcuck take of all time.

Many, if not most homeless people, WANT to be homeless. It is a very similar worldview to the frogposters on this site who brag about being NEETs.

You could give every homeless person a free apartment and they would be back on the streets within a year.

Homelessness is at least a psychological problem. I would go even further and say it is a spiritual problem.

Bro if you rent or have a 30-40 year mortgage you're basically homeless, meaning you're 3 bad months away from being actually homeless. Getting a mortgage or renting forever to afford housing is insane. Like if you bought food or air using a mortgage. It's just parasitism that kills nations, not democratic at all.
>>
>>532236468
Infinity or zero depending on how you look at it. The point is this isn't something that you can just throw money at. You ever see what happens to free housing the government gives out to homeless people? The shit ends up being destroyed and it's just the money sink. The real way you end homelessness is to cure the problems with pathological greed and dishonesty that the human race has as well as refocusing the collective humanity towards something besides the acquisition of wealth in order to give people real meaningful purpose beyond materialism. That's how you fix homelessness, not with communism.
>>
>>532241982
Also yes I fucking think that even mentally ill people should have housing. I think that housing, food, energy and water should he cheap, everything else should be free market. If you pay so much taxes you literally deserve something back in return.

I'm homeless and it sucks. You have no idea what it's like to exist outside of society if you've never actually been in this situation. I went from a normal middle class suburbanite to this.

You do realize that for the firsr 15/20 years of your mortgage you're paying almost only interest. You don't start owning shit until then, you're paying rent to the bank + taxes + repairs + mandatory insurance. You have no options for help, if you lose your job to AI or it gets outsourced to a Mexican and you can't find another job what do you do in 6 months? If people are afraid for their existence 24/7 and can barely afford to pay rent or mortgage how can they have kids or push society forward?

>You do realize that for the firsr 15/20 years of your mortgage you're paying almost only interest
more assumptive / misinformative posting

no one pays JUST their mortgage every month, at least who I know. we pay double or triple because 1. my mortgage isn't astronomical and 2. because it drastically shortens my overall payment length; I'll be paid off in under 10 years.

I don't understand your doomer mentality. You clearly shouldn't ever buy anything EVER if this is how you handle your own debt.

You must live month to month and think everyone's life is just like yours.

>pays more mortgage every month, giving the bank free money instead of investing the money and using inflation to his advantage
You're even more stupid bro. I have ZERO debt, I don't even have a credit card. Never had any single loan in my life and I will never get one. I save 70% of my salary after paying rent and all expenses and I invest it. I plan to move back with my parents, too. If your piggybank is your home you will be left holding the bag in 10-15 years, as new housing is built all around and the population isn't rising, it's going down almost everywhere.

Americans are taxed to death so convicted felons can get free schooling, so single moms can neglect her child, so immigrants and niggers get free housing, so (((bankers))) can blow up the economy and get a massive payout.
