High home prices are the leading cause of homelessness. Everything mentioned here are marginal at best, extremely counterproductive at worst. Lock up more people? What happens when they get out of jail, it's harder for them to find a job and a place to live. Where do they end up, back on the streets. Unless the solution is indefinite detention of people, I'm not sure how criminalization solves homelessness.
