Very little of it. The causes of homelessness are pretty well understood and it's basically poverty, high housing costs, low wages, lack of access to affordable medical care.
Being homeless also does a number on your mental health and my intuition says a lot of those "psychotic breaks" were experiences of homelessness, not causes.
