Most reports seem to estimate 4-5 million homeless in Russia.
Well the Russian Federation hasn't been communist for about 30 years. Homelessness didn't really exist for most of the duration of the USSR, but it became a problem again by the mid 90s.
For a modern example we can look toward Cuba, which has no homelessness despite being throttled by economic sanctions. I guess also China, though a lot of people would hesitate to call them truly socialist.
