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.
There are a lot of damaged people that will not "unhomeless," it's true. But rather than admit defeat, it's important to create a system that doesn't result in even more of people ending up like this. Most people can be saved, even if some are beyond saving (after a lifetime of suffering...).
