Homelessness in the US is not a city-level problem, it's a national problem that needs to be dealt with by federal programs. Otherwise, the places that do try to solve the problem end up attracting drifters from across the country.
It's been handled in the Western US, the Ninth Circuit has ruled that arresting people for homelessness is cruel and unusual punishment. There were plenty of municipalities who were arresting people for sleeping, filling up jails, in the hope that they'd run to the next city. This idiotic idea just filled up jails.

They should just do what San Diego does. They use a combination of private charitible money along with government money to create a number of "tough love institutions" where if you follow the rules then you are treated very well and can get excellent rehabilitative care. If you refuse to stop drinking/doing drugs/attend theropy for mental conditions then you are quickly thrown out of the program. The police then persue all legal means to go after people for vegrancy, public drunkeness, loitering, etc...
The end result is that life on the streets becomes impossible but if people agree to stay in programs designed to cure the underlaying causes of homelessness (addictions, mental illness, or even just poor luck) then temperary assistance programs can successfully help them get the care and/or help they need.
