Nobody is homeless waiting for a home to be built they can purchase. There isn't a physical housing shortage.

Are you suggesting that building affordable homes wouldn't help anyone escape homelessness?

Homeless people aren't usually the class that can secure a mortgage or have the cash to purchase a home regardless of the affordability of the home.

Right, but you can also rent affordable housing...
