Not necessarily malice, but typically it’s from not wanting to see them or be hassled by them, and it’s easier than trying to address the actual problems that cause homelessness.

Why is it easier than addressing the root problems? Well, some people consider the problem unsolvable. Others think homeless people *want* to be homeless. Others think homeless people are themeselves lazy and could get out of their situation if they “really tried”.
