Housing every single homeless person in the entirety of America would cost anywhere from $11B to $30B, per year.
That's anywhere from 50 to 136 years of housing, full paid for, for every single person currently homeless in the USA, at current market rates without any investment in affordable non-profit federal/state/city housing.
You could do so much fucking good with this money, and yet they choose to throw it all away on things that when they are successful in delivering value, deliver much less than the value that could otherwise be gained from that money, and at worst, create their own problems, like actual, direct deaths.

all of those solutions are based except nuclear. nuclear reactors rely on colonial acquisition of nuclear ore in order to keep their prices competitive with the other energy solutions. and even then, they can't compete since they're more expensive and risky than solar.

Or things beneficial to the whole world.
