Have you ever considered that the population has almost tripled since those halcyon days when you had to haul the water in from the well and heat it for your Saturday night bath? Hell, I lived in Sonoma County(Santa Rosa)in the 90's and I NEVER saw a homeless person. I have another theory though, besides population growth, wanna hear it?
Okay. Leftist policies, state and federal, are driving productive Californians out of the state, disappearing tax base means you can't throw massive amounts of money at the problem, lots of poor people moving in because of the weather, and families don't stay together and help each other anymore.

Or fiscally responsible lol.
What city or local government could possibly afford such a thing? Should they provide free heat and electricity? It would also have the unintended consequence of people seeing an opportunity in ‘becoming homeless’ in order to qualify for free housing. It could be as simple as living in a tent for a few weeks and filling out some papers.
That said, I don’t have an answer for it either.

You can dial the roots back before that...
Beginning in the late 1950s, California became the national leader in aggressively moving patients from state hospitals to nursing homes and board-and-care homes, known in other states by names such as group homes, boarding homes, adult care homes, family care homes, assisted living facilities, community residential facilities, adult foster homes, transitional living facilities, and residential care facilities. Hospital wards closed as the patients left. By the time Ronald Reagan assumed the governorship in 1967, California had already deinstitutionalized more than half of its state hospital patients. That same year, California passed the landmark Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act, which virtually abolished involuntary hospitalization except in extreme cases. Thus, by the early 1970s California had moved most mentally ill patients out of its state hospitals and, by passing LPS, had made it very difficult to get them back into a hospital if they relapsed and needed additional care. California thus became a canary in the coal mine of deinstitutionalization.

I told you that the human mind rebels against the only answer we have. I agree with your feelings, and do not want to accept the things I am about to post.
It turns out that Housing First saves money. You end up paying for housing for a short time, which is less expensive than dealing with the homeless people on the streets. The huge cost saving is in reduced crime. Remember dealing with crime involves much more expensive subsidized housing called jail.
Sure you could quit your job, be homeless for a few weeks, then get free housing, and finally get a new job and start paying rent again... But why? You sort of end up in the same place as you started. You are going to lose a lot of your possessions along the way. As part of the free housing, you are getting locked in to programs that will help you get fit for a job, and to accept a job.
I used to give financial advise to the poor as part of a charity, and I can tell you that people want jobs. They may not always want to work, but they always want the extra income that a job gives, and the feeling they are doing something. It keeps them stable, and is a general benefit.
Actually Utah and Salt Lake City were one of the first to do the Housing First policy and they had a lot of success with it. And we all know Utah is a pretty conservative state. We can look at their results vs the billions we spend on homelessness in California and the results we (don't) get.
Well, let’s give them jobs lol.
Let’s do everything we can to keep the economy going. Any homeless people that are looking for work should be able to find it.
And my ‘feelings’ have nothing to do with it. Even modest housing is expensive to construct and the money has to come from somewhere.

San Francisco, LA, Portland and Seattle aren't strapped for cash. They spend hundreds of millions annually on the homeless. In SF we spend that amount and don't get results so we raise taxes then we spend that additional money and still don't results.
It's about how you spend the money. And in Utah the program seems to have had good success which makes it a potential model for others to follow. It sure beats the "we spend and a lot and say we care thus we're emphatic" approach that doesn't get results.
