Too easy to steal. If you’re talking public housing, you have to nail everything down.
The northeast city I was from, used to partner with a charitable organization, I forget the name. They would interview any new homeless, do a drug test and background check. If they were clean, didn’t have a police record and has a reasonable cry-story, they’d refer them to a network of friends who would temporarily give them shelter and help them back on their feet.
The others would be given to the “city services,” which included sleeping on a cot in a large auditorium or basement. Many didn’t like that situation and would rather sleep in the parks because they didn’t want to follow rules and have to deal with the other homeless.
