“Giving homes” also doesn’t necessarily mean assign an apartment to everyone.
Imagine “jails” that anyone can check into at any time, without being arrested or even accused.
But deeper runs a fundamental issue - if the only tools you have are fines and jail time, how do you punish someone for minor crimes if they have no money or possessions? And let’s not dance around it, forcing someone to do something they do not want to do is a form of punishment, even if they profusely thank you afterwards.

OK? Not sure what that has to do with anything? If somebody wants shelter they can get it. Just because it isn't some great apartment doesn't mean that it is not housing.

I'm not advocating for only jail or fines. Maybe you are replying go the wrong person?

Not always. If a parent forces their child to go to school is that a punishment?
