As far as the homeless, the crisis center for the homeless states that that are four types of homeless people; the real homeless are in the shelter, then you have the recreational homeless that have somewhere to go but like to hang out with this population, then there is the enterprenuer homeless who collect money on the street corner; last but not least the mentally challenged who sleep on the street and under the viaducts, in the park, etc.

Some of the homeless find their own shelter, and I would have to be very very desperate to go to an actual homeless shelter.
I was once homeless for a few months and lived in my employer's off-site storage area in the basement of an apartment building. So I was neither recreational, entrepreneurial, or mentally challenged in the street.
