I think they have the right to housing, basically.
They do. But they don't have more of a right to it than you do. OP's idea that some people have greater rights than others is pretty widely regarded as evil.
OP isn't saying they have a greater right to housing but that the right to housing outweighs the right to prettyness in public spaces. We can make them prettier by moving them to housing but not just by kicking them out with no housing options.
It's better for everyone, including homeless people, to live in homes rather than set up camp in public places where it can cause problems for them and other people. At least that's what bothered me about the post OP made. Housing-first works for a reason.
