The number of bank ceased homes to those persons with no homes if expressed as a ratio —
3 homeless peoples per 1 house ?
4 houses per homeless person ?
A lot of homeless have lost their homes and it is not economically feasible to let them move into an empty foreclosed home.
It is a grand gesture but someone else owns these homes and we need to be fair to all people.
How many "empty" apartments are there? Why not move homeless to apartment? Many more could be accommodated.
With the house come a host of other problems like utilities.
Who would pay for these?
What about transportation?
How would they get to the grocery store?
How would they find work?
At least apartments are usually on the bus line.
Apartments are easier to be all utilities included. Less of a strain on tax payers.

I sometimes wonder what is that ration between victims of capitalism and foreclosed homes.

Enough to house all the homeless, particularly if we re-possessed the commercial real estate currently being wasted by the banking industry.

What’s a "bank ceased home?" You mean seized?
So are you suggesting that the imperial federal government seize private property from one group of people, to give to another? Do you really want some bum, who can not even take care of himself, living next door to you? That will be great for property values!
And yes, a corporation is a group of people. These people are shareholders. If you have a 401k, then you may be amongst that group who is stuck with foreclosed houses worth less than the loan value. But judging from the vapid nature of this question, you are most likely under 16…
