I think that when you talk about homeless people, you talk about visible homelessness (those sleeping in tents or on bench). I'm not sure it's even a third of the homeless. I was homeless while studying CS. I only had enough to rent an appartment for one year when i started, and since the school wasn't recognized by the state yet, i didn't qualified for most state aid for students. I slept at school, or at my friend and family 's apartment for almost two years. I wasn't the only one living like this btw, i think this was quite common in Paris. I also didn't own a car, and i think most homeless do sleep in their cars, it's easier. Lower rent prices (1/3rd of what it was at the time) would definitely have helped me.
