Actually some of them do have jobs or earn money in some way,
I earn social Security because I'm mentally disabled, the amount I'm being payed by SSI isn't enough to afford housing-
THE ONLY REASON I'M NOT FUCKING HOMELESS IS BECAUSE I HAVE SOCIAL NETS
I can't afford housing
I'm only paid like $600
Housing is like $10,000
A lot of people who work earn less than that
You realise people who get paid minimum wage could be homeless?
Some homeless people work prostitution that includes...
People under 18
My mom works at a homeless shelter, and with that I understand where my disability places me in society and have more awareness of the difficult financial situations that people deal with, so no if your situation is that your homeless it's not as simple as "getting a job" like how everyone makes it out to be,
