I'm quite sure there are existing shelters in your area on dry land. A

If so, then why are there still homeless people?

Answer this question and you can get quite rich.

Have you ever
been to San Francisco?

Yup.

The homeless are everywhere sleeping in
the sidewalks and doorways along Market Street. Get on the light
rail train about 11PM, and ride around San Francisco--you will get
the education of a lifetime. All they need to do is tie the
America up next to the Hornet, and they are ready to rock and roll.

Have you ever lived on a Big Grey Boat? If so, you would not make
this comment. If not, then you are speaking from a Great Well of
Ignorance.

A much better solution would be old troop ships, retired liners, etc.
This has already been suggested.

But the cost to do either would be vastly higher than just creating
places on dry land.
