    A big thing is where are those homes located? Are they near social services? Are they near jobs? Skills training? Is putting a homeless person in them with no income going to allow said homeless person to build a life?

    Most homeless go to cities where there are social services, and lots of people around so they can beg for an income. Most empty houses are not in cities.

      Yes, many of those homes are located in or near cities. Of course more public transportation is needed.

      Have these homeless people been offered houses in small towns and they refused? Feels like a lot of assumptions are being made here
