One possibility is that some homeless may move to the city in hopes of either finding work or catching a break to get out of the homelessness.
We see that a lot in Seattle, that people who became homeless out in Enumclaw or Goldbar or wherever slowly get drawn towards the city because the systems that support the homeless are there, whether it be infrastructure that can be used for shelter or soup kitchens or day labor or even just a good corner to beg from.
Its not the only source of the homeless by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a source.
