How much does it cost to construct a homeless shelter?
One inexpensive approach:
Procure some land outside the city limits and start a program. You could put in wooden floors and wooden sidewalks and pitch these tents. It's protection from wind, rain, sleet and snow and these people can officially claim an address. Work programs could be started whereby employers can pick up day labor from the available "pool" of workers. A 'Transition to Stability" program could propel these people into productive citizenry and permanent housing/employment.
I submit that there is no reason any human being should be without shelter and a clean place eat, shower and shave everyday and a place to wash their own clothes.
And there's not a city in this country that couldn't implement something like this within 6 months.

How many people were homeless in ancient rome?
In ancient Rome, estimates suggest that around one-third of the population, which could be as high as a million people at its peak, lived in poverty, and many of these individuals were homeless or lived in inadequate conditions. The exact number of homeless individuals is difficult to determine, but the vast urban population and the social structure of the time contributed to significant homelessness.

Actually, some student loans are forgiven if you work in certain jobs with certain populations. My Perkins loans were forgiven because I was employed as a program manager in a family homeless shelter. This was a federal forgiveness program. My husband worked as a public school teacher with disabled children and had an opportunity to have some of his student loans forgiven under a program run by the State of Florida. Loan forgiveness can be worth thousands of dollars so it is worth it to check with your lender to find out if there are any programs that suit your situation.
