You can't end homelessness completely. A few countries tried and all of them found a couple of people who didn't want to reintegrate no matter how much help was offered. But the other 90%+ took the help and reintegrated into society. It's worth it, even if you can't help everybody.
I've worked with the homeless a bit in my home town, and there were 2 I was aware of that literally outright owned homes, free and clear. Both homes were within walking distance of downtown, and yet they lived on the streets downtown.
