“People who are living on the street, for the most part, have burned through all the support their family and friends are willing to give.” I have experienced this with one person. She didn’t become homeless but it had reached a point where the whole family said “enough is enough, we can’t help anymore”. Interestingly this was the turn around. Once nobody was willing to help anymore she pulled herself together and straightened things out. It’s still not perfect but much better. If she hadn’t had the energy or intelligence to get her life in order she would be homeless or dead now.
