sounds like you're focusing on the wrong billions, the war on iran alone could provide housing to all homeless in the US.
It's not for a lack of money people are homeless in the US (which is launching this). it's for a lack of political will, because voters don't want to provide free housing to homeless people. They're more concerned about being able to buy instead of rent a house (less apartments, more houses) or protect the value of their house ("no homeless people near me, and certainly an abundance of housing reduces prices for my house investment").
Hey, at least those issues won't be a problem, if homeless people can charter a flight to Mars, if these efforts pan out.
