My father is homeless. No matter how much money you throw at him, he's never been able to be self-reliant. He has not had his own place for over 20 years (I'm 31 years old). He has problems with alcohol and can never stick with anything (jobs, education, trade schools). I think my father's homeless situation is very similar to 95% of the homeless population. They can't break their old habits or just don't want to. It takes a very competent person to stick with a job, make sure all your bills, and to acquire the skills needed to make someone want to pay you more than minimum wage. If someone has drive and is competent, there is no reason for them to be homeless. There is so much free information out there or very cheap courses to learn many skills that are in demand.
