Second, it seems like you're just finding ways to denigrate homeless people needlessly. Instead, we should just provide homes for the homeless. It's a problem the is easily solved, if we wanted to solve it. This is classic victim blaming.
How many previously homeless people do you currently allow to share your dwelling, rent-free? If the answer is zero, you're not doing your part and have no right to lecture anyone else about it.
All homeless people at one point had a home, and the vast majority had a home as an adult at some point. They almost all became homeless voluntarily or because they did something to get them removed their home. In Oregon after Covid hit, evictions for non-payment of rent were illegal for 2 years or so. But somehow homelessness seemed to go way up, despite no one having problems paying their rent. Many "victims" are only the victim of their own misbehavior.
