Imagine what that'd do for the economy... all those people homed, able to access services, able to get themselves back into being productive members of society...
Not to mention how the safety net of something like that can drastically improve innovation and economic growth even for those who aren't homeless!
When you don't have to worry that starting a new business could make you homeless, because you always have a form of housing to fall back on, you're more likely to start new businesses, take risks, develop things with your own money, et cetera.
Currently, the only real way for normal people to avoid this risk is to go to venture capital firms, who will then in turn only fund the businesses that could have the highest ability to either extract money from you, or fetch the highest sale to an existing large company, rather than make the best product or service possible.
If people don't have to worry about homelessness, you don't just get better outcomes for those who are homeless, you create better outcomes for anyone who wants to try building anything!
Exactly.
