Since when did the Democrats ever care about the Homelessness?
They rather throw money at the problem. Instead of solving the core of the problem.

In February 1975, a month after Reagan left office and Jerry Brown was sworn in as governor, the California Auditor General found that patients released from state hospitals had no services, and often ended up back in local hospitals—at triple the cost:
“In our judgment, sufficient emphasis is not being placed on developing alternative nonhospitalization facilities at the county level. As a result, releasing state hospital patients into the community where adequate nonhospital services often are not available results in the placement of that patient in a local hospital. The net effect of this is the replacement of a $39 per day state hospital cost with a $125 per day local hospital cost.”
Voters had other priorities. The property tax slashing Proposition 13 had qualified for the June 1978 ballot.

Lanterman took a dim view of Proposition 13, telling his oral history interviewer in April 1978 that it was a “phony bologna piece of nonsense.” He described its main author, Howard Jarvis, as “an old walrus, and an old faker, and a three-dollar bill.”
Lanterman long had chaired a subcommittee on mental health care. But in 1976 Assembly Speaker Leo McCarthy, aware that Lanterman was in his final term, replaced him with a young Democratic assemblywoman, Leona Egeland Rice of San Jose.
She insisted that Lanterman be vice-chair, knowing she needed help understanding the issues and personalities. He graciously passed the torch, and they became friends. She also brought fresh eyes to the issue.
“Everybody started to realize that this was a fairytale,” she said in an oral history interview with Open California. “You close the state hospital, and you normalize people by putting them in the community. But it doesn’t work. And the funds didn’t follow the people. And the trained staff didn’t follow the people.”
As ever, money was an issue. Lanterman lamented that dollars saved by emptying state hospitals never followed the patient. Money that did flow to counties often was spent not on people with the most severe mental illness, but on people whose needs were more modest.

The left just can't see that their policies lead to greater income inequality, greater wealth inequality, and greater homelessness. All you have to do is look at the deep blue states and it stands out like a sore thumb. And yet the Democrats wonder how Trump and the Republicans stole the working class vote.Against that hundred of billions are funneling into Ukraine and Israel

That's one thing out of several. This is actually something I disagree with Trump on. The 2017 tax bill put a cap on SALT deductions at 10K. Before that people in these high tax states could just write off their high state taxes on the federal tax form.
Since that tax bill capped it at 10K, it effectively didn't let people in high tax states write off their state's high tax rates. So, many moved out in droves. This led to Democrats whining about it eve since and wanting to get rid of that 10K cap, which would benefit only the richer.
So, I say keep the 10K SALT cap and if people want to continue living in their high taxed states then let them pay those high taxes and let more move out in droves who don't want to pay them. Trump sounds willing to raise that 10K cap so I disagree with that. Let the exodus continue.
Only makes sense if you let in 10K who have no job or income they can't afford a house therefore they become homeless
