I'm no expert in the area, but Housing First programs seem to be getting popular and having some results.

To me it seems if we say food and shelter are our first needs, it's hard to work on other health and life issues without those first.

Very few people choose to end up in the circumstances that lead them to be homeless and once there, I can't say many people with homes and resources would fare much better if both were taken away.
