The best way to stop homelessness is mindbogglingly simple: Give them homes.

BillK, it is done that way now: section 8 housing. It does postpone the
problem.
The solution as described in the link is one that has failed spectacularly
in places like Detroit Michigan: the housing projects get too dangerous.
You can go to some parts of Detroit today and have any house you want:
plenty of them are abandoned. But the area itself is too dangerous for
human habitation.
There are no mindbogglingly simple solutions to homelessness. There are
some simple failed solutions however, and I predict they will be used again.
