Public services don't need to be profitable to be sustainable. You just need to tax base to be okay with it.

Yeah, I don't want them to be profitable, but sustainable.

Even if taxpayers are paying for it, you can't rely on the (struggling) general population to lift people out of homelessness. Let the rich carry that burden. They are the ones who've hoarded money that should have gone to everyone else.
