The numbers mentioned sounds like about half of the actual numbers on the street.
This to me seems more like a short term solution, than a long one.
IMO they should makes it illegal not to have a home address. Sounds harsh but it either forces them to deal with their issues or be jailed until they are identified and put in a place where they are safe and can thrive.
IMO there is no better time than right now than to deal with the homeless population.

Of course it's a short term solution. The idea is to get people off the street now to protect them from COVID-19. After that they're back on the street to die from something else.
An unpopular solution is to institutionalize the people who need it - and lets be honest, a lot of people in the DTES need it. Of course that's soo not PC and won't happen.
