The vast majority of people who are homeless are homeless because of their own choosing. Many have mental or addiction problems and they refuse the free treatment they can receive. They don't want to stay in the shelters. They have family that will help them, but they refuse that help.

The government hands out billions of dollars each year in free medical, dental, housing, utilities, education, food, child care, bus tokens, etc. There are people who just won't accept it for whatever reason and there are people who take advantage of it.

Go look at the "poor" in other countries and ask yourself where you'd rather be "poor".
