> Some of the homeless people don't want a home.
To understand the problem we should first define what is 'a home' is and then we should ask homeless about what they do understand as 'a home'. People who never actually interacted with homeless in any [bigger than some spare change] capacity would never understand that.
> They don't even want to be in the system
And this one is even harder, because most of them has a deep aversion and/or distrust for 'the system', for whatever reason.
> We were able to get some off the street
Kudos to you and your fellows, but, as you probably know already, many, many who get off the street gets back, often in a quite short time.

If you don't mind and the reason for quitting was related to it - what was the reason? Idle curiosity from my part.
