Their actual answer is volunteer donations.
And considering how many libertarians think that poverty is essentially due to personal choice, we can all imagine how many of them are willing to voluntarily donate money to helping the poor.
That may be, but they think that it is greater evil to forcefully take money from somebody else (through obligatory taxes) and spend on homeless than letting homeless be homeless.
They're wrong.
Oh yeah, I know that's what they think, it's just a bit silly that they advocate for charity to solve homelessness while at the same time they more or less want the homeless to literally die
