You’re setting the parameters. Homeless, no shower, dirty clothes, no background check, instant payments…
If that’s your baseline then there’s your baseline job.
If you think wage slavery is the solution to homelessness, I strongly urge you to look into sociopathy and maybe go get screened.
Hey, if they don’t want to actually work, then admit that.
I talked to a homeless dude with a “Will work for food” sign.
“Hey, I know a guy who needs a hand, what do you need?”
“I can’t work inside.”
“Your lucky day, it’s pushing a wheelbarrow outside.”
“Just give me money, man.”
Interact with enough homeless people and you see the same grift over and over. They aren’t interested in actually working.
My father used to make the same claim as well. My father was a liar though. He never once offered a job to a homeless person.
I don’t think you have either, but regardless of that, offering to rent day labor at below market wages does nothing to solve homelessness.
