If they could have a job they wouldn't be homeless.

My understanding is that there are plenty of homeless folks with jobs.
Identifying and assisting these people first would seem to be the thing to do.

But reducing those homeless to 0% would likely not move the needle at all on the “problematic homeless” - the type everyone complains about.

Nobody cares about Steve Wallis sleeping in a bush.

Why would a job automatically mean housing? This is America, a job only means enough money for housing in some markets.
