There were tons of homeless people during Reagan's time.

He closed down California's mental hospitals, promising that the mentally ill would be handled in the community. Without supervision they became street people. In the end, increased police costs of dealing with the homeless outweighed any benefit closing the hospitals could have had.

After it failed in California, he took it national.
