Its a pretty arrogant and ignorant view to say that homeless people are homeless because they choose to be..
Im sure that they LOVE sleeping in cardboard boxes at the side of the road in the snow...
Most homeless people are there because society on the whole is not available to them. Shelters are there, but full, housing is hard to get and transitory, and jobs are hard to get when you cant get to interviews, and cant present yourself to the interviewer
life isnt that easy...
