I'm in support of what several others commented here. Build a shelter, project style structures, for these folks and vet everyone of them so they get the help they need. Have the homeless advocates and professionals from all walks of life volunteer their time and services to run the facility.  Bring in funding via donations from caring community members. And most importantly put a stop to the hard core drug usage. Surely not all of these people are main lining drugs. Track down the drug dealers and run them out of town.  It's time we wrap up and rid of the homeless issues (with obvious mental health and addiction problems)  in the area instead of applying expensive, temporary and useless bandaids.
