What is the solution?

Dormitories, soup kitchens, and work crews. If the homeless don't like it they can move to more hospitable surroundings. Keep parks parks.
Well said above... although capitalism has many benefits, as you increase the wealth gap (which has been happening), you will increase the amount of impoverished at the bottom too.
There's plenty of cheap food and even housing if built right to house everyone in exchange for work.

I agree with you totally, but I suspect a large portion of the homeless wouldn't be up for the "work" part. That is why they are homeless now. Or, they are homeless because they have a drug habit, which wouldn't be allowed in the housing project either.
Here's, unfortunately, how that would go: Homeless person gets the housing and food, but refuses to do the work. Continues to live as a slob in the housing. Person gets kicked out of the program but barred from returning to the public park. Now, leftists and virtue-signalers cry that the homeless person is basically a "slave" because that person isn't allowed to live in the park but is instead "forced" to work an easy job for 5 hours a day in exchange for housing and food worth 3x his work value.
"SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The American River Parkway is often called the “Jewel of Sacramento,” but a stretch of the river near downtown shows how the city’s growing homeless population threatens this precious natural resource.
The 1.7-mile paved levee path on the south side of the river between Interstate 5 and the Highway 160 bridge is formally known as the Two Rivers Trail, but you won’t see many recreational cyclists willing to share the space with shopping carts, abandoned bicycles and piles of trash.
Scores of tents and tarps line the base of the levee on both sides of the trail and the sound of a generator can occasionally be heard. The faint smell of human waste can be detected on a hot July afternoon."
