I can remember one beggar asking me for money for chips. I offered to buy him chips but he didn't want that.

Problems with "empty" housing stock is that they may not be safe or may be owned by absentee landlords using it as investment (or other reasons) so are not available to be used. And many homeless do need care as well as shelter.
