I don’t think there are actually more empty homes than homeless people.
As a system of managing production and allocating resources, capitalism has been spectacularly successful.
And our anemic level of social services has nothing to do with capitalism either. People don’t seem to understand what terms like capitalism and socialism actually mean. A capitalist country can still have universal healthcare, public housing, etc. That stuff has nothing to do with capitalism, socialism, or any other ism - in the end it boils down to not being a dick.

@QuixoticSoul Exactly. Bernie Sanders calls himself a "Democratic Socialist," but he's not; he's a capitalist who wants to expand certain social programs, like health care and education.
