My last town tried a day labor center. Just a spot at a town maintenance yard where day labor could wait to get picked up for work. It worked well. But got shut down by NIMBYs and conservatives who saw mostly brown faces.

It wasn’t just to help homeless. But any similar program is going to run headlong into the same criminalization of poverty issues we always see in the US.
