Possibly. But you need to address the fact that a lot of these folks need expensive medical assistance. That isn't just housing.

Somewhere around 15% of SF homeless have a traumatic brain injury. That's about 1 in 8 homeless who desperately need expensive medical assistance.

Single payer/medicare for all would have a larger impact on the homeless than mere housing or cash.
