How can you ban the homeless?

You can't ban homeless people. For some its a life style, others since they have mental disabilities that make it difficult for them to get a job and achieve economic stability. Another group is veterans who find them selves unable to work and can't receive federal benefits with out an address. Then there are junkies and other undesirables.

Homelessness isn't like an activity that you can pass a law put up a sign and end just like that. You'd have to work on the growth and improvement of shelters, housing projects and rehabilitation centers.

If a tenant is allowing other people that are not on the lease to live in the apartment being paid for by the department of homeless services what can the landlord do to stop this?

Note: I'm a landlord not a lawyer. I have had some experience with Sec 8 tenants.

Most obvious: notify them in writing that they are violating their lease terms and if the others don't leave within x days, you will start eviction process. Even with Sec 8, the lease still holds like w/anyone else, and people not on the lease living there is a violation that gives you the right to evict unless they remedy the situation. If you want to risk losing your rent payment from the agency, send a copy to the agency. If they fear losing all benefits like their free health care, low cost child care, etc. they may comply ... for awhile.

You could call the government agency in question (the Housing Authority for your county, for instance) and report them. They will be called in for an investigation and may or will lose their eligibility and you will lose your rental payment from the agency as a result after a month or two, but you can at least get them out and you can probably keep their deposit.

IME, when investigated they lie to the agency about the person(s) moving out, or just temporarily show a different address for a month, and then move them right back in when they get their benefits restored or resolved.

You have to decide if you like dealing with this kind of people or not because they are into manipulating the system.

If there are enough people that it's violating county occupancy laws, you could be cited, something else to consider.

How many chickens do you need to feed 200 homeless people?

Figure a pound to a pound and a half per person (for all food served) --average 11/4 pounds per person. Half of this will be the entree the chicken. So...

200*.625=125 pounds of chicken (if chicken is all that is in the meal)

Guesstimating that you will use about 1/2 lb of chicken meat per dish (including seasoning, and other ingredients), you could round that to 100 to 110 pounds of chicken.

Although this was not part of the question:Forgive the assumption, but I'd recommend mixing white and dark meat for health, taste, and your financial benefit. Breast meat is expensive, and you can save funds buying it bone-in and skin-on. You can save more by purchasing legs and thighs with the skin on. Of course, purchasing it this way, you will need to buy about 1/3 more by weight, meaning that 125 pounds becomes about 167 pounds, or round that up to 170. If you contact a butcher in your area (I know they're rare), you might be able to save even more. Also, although you are probably already aware of this, boning the chicken can be easier if you boil the lot first and let it cool.

How would you explain unemployment due to homelessness?

I volunteer at a womans and mens homeless shelter on the weekends. When they go out looking for a job they can only use their cell phone and the address of the shelter. Often they are reluctant and/or embarrassed to give the address out They do not have a complete wardrobe at the shelter and nicer clothing items are often stolen. Homeless makes looking for a job that much harder.
