Just as an aside, that $20bn figure wouldn't even come close to ending homelessness in the US. That's just how much it would cost to house the homeless population, which is a bandaid on the issue.

The US government as a whole needs a major rewrite to actually address the issue. It's not a situation with a simple solution.

I agree. Housing is a human right, and any person being homeless is a failure of the political systems they exist within. Homelessness is a crime against humanity. No human being should be denied their own shelter. The US government would allow more people to become homeless if all presently homeless people were housed. It would undeniably be a good thing of Elon Musk did house all the homeless, but without systemic change, we will find ourselves back at Square 1 in 5 or 10 years.

It is necessary to view and treat shelter as a human right that all people are guaranteed and provided by the system. Much the same as food, potable water, healthcare, and heat.
