There are a ton of new homeless where I live too. Some are probably spillover from the evangelical heroin treatment centers in Central AZ, the rest came because my city lost a case to the ACLU about panhandling on 1st Amendment grounds.

What should be done with them? Fortunately for us, they don't camp out in western New Jersey towns so I have no direct experience. My instinct is to clear them out and keep rousting them out of the city because they are a danger to normal people.

When pension crisis hit several years back, remember reading public employee pensions would drain money from public services, leading to public "squalor." Don't know if this related to pensions, but we definitely have public squalor. If even tech workers are living in campers...?

That's why the homeless problem is a combination of permissiveness and poverty. People should not be allowed to camp out anywhere they want. If they want to sleep in a tent, go to a campground!

Is there any solid research on bang for your buck as regards "treatment?" How much money does it waste, exactly?

Shouldn't the homeless at least get free housing, though? I mean, isn't part of having a generous social safety net giving free housing--such as free apartments--to the poor and homeless?
