You know what would help them?

A house.

That wouldn’t help, as they wouldn’t have the means to furnish it or maintain it or pay the taxes on it. What they need is medical care for the sizeable portion that have mental illness keeping them down. And all of them need an economic system that doesn’t let hard luck cases get thrown under the bus.

You wouldn't believe how many of them have jobs and just need a house. It's the majority actually.
