The reason there are homeless is far more complex than high rent. Anyone working a reasonable job can afford to rent a room relatively cheaply, although there are working homeless. Unfortunately, the orgs that help the homeless are focused on self-survival by strictly focusing on the impossible cases. Having a job, being sober, and no mental illness gets no support. A lot of this is via earmarking, but there are so many elements that it's impossible to pinpoint a single reason that encompasses all things.
