You cite that roughly 10% of the families recieve cash welfare, and approx. 15% of them recieve subsidized housing.

Yet, nearly 30% aren't employed. That leaves 20% not utilizing welfare and 15% not utilizing public housing. The majority of the impoverished population, despite your claims to the contrary, are doing exactly what you claim they aren't doing--taking care of themselves.
