This is an important article because it highlights 3 ways that could be implemented quickly.
Prevention.  People leaving Jail and prisons, foster care etc.
Prioritize or use flexible funding for lower needs people.  The highest are important, but maybe public/private could help to house.
3. ADU's could help with the above.  Again, I can't help but think offering housing in other places, where the folks came from might be a win win.

1.1.     Make the systems that put vulnerable people at risk of homelessness part of the solution rather than the problem. People leaving jails and prisons and young people leaving foster care often wind up homeless. That doesn’t have to happen. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs uses just a few questions to find out whether patients visiting their clinics risk becoming homeless — and then refers them to help. And Los Angeles’ probation department funds housing for those who become homeless while on probation. Corrections, child welfare and health facilities across California could do the same.
 2. Continue to serve the most vulnerable, but also move fast to help those with lower needs. California’s communities prioritize housing the most vulnerable, including disabled people — as they should. But this is only a small percentage of those who lose their housing. Successful communities are increasing their use of smaller amounts of flexible funding to help lower-need people get back into a home immediately, or even to avoid more than a few hours of homelessness.These funds can pay deposits on a new place, help people return to their families or get set up for a job. Flexible funds are hard to come by, but interventions like these can be less expensive than a shelter stay, and they work for many people.They can be ramped up.
3. Make housing the centerpiece of the homelessness services system and think more creatively about how to house people affordably. Every shelter and homelessness services program in California needs to be laser-focused on getting people back into a home quickly, and connecting them to services (employment, health care, treatment). This approach works. But because of the housing gap, creativity is essential. Municipalities can eliminate zoning, code and NIMBY barriers that drive up the cost of housing. They can explore innovative housing models — like accessory dwelling units (which California has led on), shared housing, single room occupancy and boarding houses, and others — that address the needs of people who simply cannot afford to rent their own apartments in the red-hot California housing market.
