The phrasing of this OP suggests that homeless people are a problem to be solved. It expresses a kind of Bigotry, 'I have a home, a job, and a car, and if thats good for me it should be good for you, and if you don't have these things, there is something wrong with you that needs fixed'. Why are people homeless ? Some have no choice, they have lost everything and are on the street, and may need help. Some have chosen to live on the street with no stress from a job or family, and no responsability, a kind of freedom that others just talk about. Before you 'Help' someone by putting them in a shelter or a home find out what they want. You do not have the right to impose your standards on others.
