What ethical system is satisfied by or otherwise explains the treatment of homeless people in USA? Specifically, major cities.

Surely, it’s not consequentialism as the homeless situation does provide any to minimize suffering or maximize pleasure.

It’s not virtue ethics as the only virtue I can see is apathy, which is not a virtue.

Which I guess leaves deontology…

Ethical systems don’t explain behavior, either of individuals or systems.

Maybe you mean which ethical system justifies such treatment? Well, we could always make up an ethical theory which does so, the question is whether it would be compelling.

Some rationalizations you see is that there’s nothing to be done, or that it isn’t the job is the state to deal with the problem, or that it’s too expensive, or whatever. Again, the big question is how compelling any of that is.
