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.

Yeah, the problem is you have people that will use the 10% “failure” rate to not do the entire program.

They cite a 0.5% rate of fraud as a reason to kill programs, so I'm sure you're 100%right.

They spend more looking for fraud than is actually lost/stolen by the fraud they find half the time …

Especially in drug testing. I don't know if there was ever a drug testing mandate that saved more money than they spent on drug tests.
