There are many more causal connections in play. This is just one pruned diagram for simplicity and for conversation.

The gist of this homelessness model is that conflict and derprivation can lead to several types of harm--crime, incarceration, ACEs, and substance abuse.
These collected harms have a major impact on commerce including unemployment and lower standard of living for the community in general. There are policies, investments, and financial levers available that can reverse some of the harms and their effects. Investing in non-speculative land trusts, providing guaranteed basic income, encouraging local spending, increasing the local velocity of money each play a part in reversing these harms. Most of these also increase tax bases and thus tax revenues to support guaranteed basic income and land trusts. Also, a lot of costly consequences of homelessness e.g. crime, incarceration, broken homes, ACEs are decreased as homelessness decreases.
