I would assert that it's fairly well established that all of those problems are modified (if not entirely solved) by changing resource allocation, and those with more resources modify the systems more, to their liking.

Asking "problem solvers" (effectively a non-category since every living human solves a variety of scale and scope of problems) why they're not "solving the big or 'real' problems" is disingenuous: there are a variety of reasons why. greed, selfishness, etc. are easy to point out as the evil motivators but quality of information, access, and ability to allocate impactful resources are also in play.

All of that is 100% true and like you said we could choose to allocate resources in a way to certainly fix the hunger problem and the housing shortage but we actively chose not to. In my opinion it's because here in the US our politicians have been bought by capital and largely represent the interests of capital owners. If your fed and have a roof over your head you're way less desperate and ultimately less likely to have to take a job that pay scraps. A large number of Walmart employees are on welfare for example. We, the people are effectively paying for Walmart employees so the billionaires can have even more money.
