If you're going to make a contentious statement like that (i.e. most homeless are insane). I think you should probably at least try to back it up.
It probably varies significantly by country/city. But the first reference I found [1] suggested that somewhere in the region of 28% of homeless people suffer from a serious metal illness.
Saying "one becomes homeless because one cannot manage money effectively" is also pretty offensive, unless you back it up with some data. I imagine there are a number of economic and other reasons someone might end up on the streets.
To me your comment mostly just comes across as condescending and somewhat arrogant. It would be more interesting to discuss actual data on homelessness...
