You are a kind person, but as others have said try not to take on this large burden yourself. Do what you’re comfortable with and be satisfied with that. This is an ongoing and largely intractable problem that you cannot solve alone.

MODERATORS
An adult has the right to take on burdens as they see fit.
Universal Basic Income.
Nothing warms you up like a bit of fire. So if you set fire to the area they spend their time in, they should keep warm for as long as the fire keeps going.
Have a lot of fuel ready.
This is a bad joke.
However, I did consider mentioning the possibility of a rocket stove or similar. It's pretty pricey, though, and something like that could potentially cause trouble with law enforcement so probably not best for OP's purposes.
Anything that looks good enough to be sold, will be. Or the cops will consider it stolen and take it away. Might even arrest whoever's using it or just beat them.
Has to be old and ragged-looking, not draw attention. Functionality and ease of positioning are what matter. And it needs fuel. Whatever stuff they have lying around is used as clothing or for shelter. No fuel, no fire. Can't throw gas at them though, should be something solid yet useless for anything else other than burning it.
A rocket stove is wood-burning, and it'll look shabby and scorched after just a single use. It's very efficient, you could run it on twigs and fallen branches. I could easily imagine something like it being very handy for a group of homeless people camping in a park or other wooded area.
But as I said, I decided not to suggest it. They're pretty pricey and specialized.
