I 100% (100,000%!) agree that we need to resolve our housing supply issues. It's a major contributing factor to homelessness.
The rest, I mostly disagree.
The primary reason for the limitations on after donation use is because that's how donations generally work. It isn't a homeless thing.
People will not give you money or other assets if you don't first tell them what will be done with it. If you don't give them some control, most people won't give you anything at all.
A lot of homeless people have complex issues. Yes, helping them really is more complicated than "just give them a house!"
