How you ask has Medicine Hat solved homelessness?
"Well, pretty simple. We gave them a home," Clugston told CBC's Information Radio.
"No matter what the situation is if it's mental health, if it's addiction, are you escaping domestic violence? It doesn't matter, you get a house, you get a roof over your head. And then, right away, part of the intake process is questions like why are you homeless? What caused this? And then wrap-around services are brought in right away. Whatever you need," Clugston said.
Not really such a complex solution after all.

Originally Clugston worried about trumpeting their success in ending homelessness, for fear that a mass migration of transient people would take place – but his worries never came to fruition.
This tho may not translate to Vancouver. Vancouver does attract people from all over Canada already. I would guess in the winter homelessness in Medicine Hat takes care of itself.
