Seriously?
I haven't met a homeless person who does not have a place to sleep and clothes. I don't remember a bunch of naked, sleep deprived homeless folks running around NC during all my years there either.

Why do you think they need to be disabused of the notion that they can find nightly solace in a bottle and a bench if they haven't chosen all these great homeless programs that set them up in luxury?
