I feel for you. You went through things, and survived, AND bettered yourself, where many others gave up or simply died themselves. However i'd like to point out that such articles come about, even if it's not expressed directly, less because the homeless are victims. It is because an entire people, homeless as well as citizens are the victims here. The following is harsh, but there is no other way to put it without compromising the reality: The victims here are the homeless people for being abandoned by their government, as well as the average citizen for being abandoned along with the homeless. There is no reason that homeless people should have to fend for their live on the street, with little to no hope of reintegration; nor that average citizens should have to live in a city where their safety is endangered because homeless people do not receive adequate reintegration efforts. There are known and proven ways to handle this problem, while simultaneously improving the lives of every single citizen, homeless and not homeless. Look to Europe. And until the american governments can agree to implement these, homeless will have no choice but to do and take what they can get, average citizen will need to be very aware of their safety, and news outlets will write confused articles like this.
