What these people need are JOBS so that they can continue to sustain themselves once they are provided housing by the government, otherwise they will lose their homes nonetheless.
@General Luise Martinbanger Ok, but are they jobs that these homeless people can do? Or do they require higher education and previous experience/training? Also, just because you make it easier to build does not mean that these homeless people will have a greater chance at buying the property. It may become an incentive for other middle class from other states or immigrants to move to California instead. What's important is that you need to have more housing development and government control of housing prices, otherwise these real estate agents are just going to hike up the prices to fill their wallet.
I wonder whether these investments being made in "affordable" housing by these major tech companies aren't just attempts to piecemeal establish corporate communities, where public rule and administration is replaced by a 100% privatized structure. That's one of the major concerns with Google's proposed waterfront "smart city" here in Toronto.
Can they afford to drug test all those homeless people, do you think? Drug Testers are people too, and that would create more drug testing jobs...Just Imagine......the lines that would create.....Oof.......peanuts, get your free peanuts HERE!
That's funny... everything Apple makes is literally known for being unaffordable. I can't wait to see how this "affordable" housing thing goes.

For God's sake, keep the money out of the state's hands. Those idiots would screw up a two car funeral.
US needs to somehow revive its factory state.
$2.5 billion / 130,000 people = approx. $20,000 per person. How is that going to help them afford a home still?
I guess they will build affordable houses
In Corp we trust

Yes! i love this move. 2.5 billion in tax return + make affordable housing for the poor so they can spend the money on apple gadgets as well! Nice

Finally
Take addiction out of homelessness then work on homelessness, most people choose to be homeless
