I'd go one step further. Homelessness, and poverty in general, are necessary to capitalism. If the consequences of poverty weren't so bad, workers wouldn't fear losing their jobs so much. Homelessness helps maintain the authority of the boss over the worker and the corresponding hierarchy of capital over labor.
"The rich take all of the money, pay none of the taxes. The middle class does the work, pays all the taxes. The poor exist to scare the shit out of the middle class." - paraphrasing from George Carlin
Yea true. The fear of it is what gets people to take less money than they’re worth.
“You’ll take what we give you.”
“Bro why do you want to pay like shit? Are you a fundamentally broken human being?”
It's all just modern slavery with some funny sprinkles on top.
