I think this is an inevitable reality and you do need to have a disciplinary measure in place for when it does happen but I think it's important to note that it will likely be the exception and not the rule.

I don't think many people without a house are going out of their way to ruin their chance of happiness and yes while some of them may be mentally or emotionally unwell the cost to society from these situations will be less than that caused by homelessness.
