Enforce vagrancy laws, sentence them to 6 months. Send them to New Deal-style CCC camps far away from cities

75% will immediately make arrangements to get off the street

the remainder will at least be separated from their dealers, will be able to get some basic treatment, and most importantly - they will not be infringing on the rights of others, destroying property, or spreading disease by allowing their present situation to continue.

The CCC wasn’t like that. Families with young men (or young men themselves) had trouble getting enough food. They really wanted in. In exchange for hard work they received plenty of nutritious food, shelter, a uniform and a small paycheck—most of which had to be sent home. They also were subject to discipline. If they misbehaved, they were kicked out and the food, shelter, and spending money ended.

Imagine the homeless under those conditions. Requiring work in exchange for food would be declared ‘slavery’. Kicking someone out of the program would be declared ‘racist’ or ‘ableist’ or ‘heartless’.
