I have homeless 'neighbors', and in my very limited experience, they are mostly alcoholics. Some of them may have been pushed into the situation by circumstance, but they don't seem to be too anxious to change. I've spoken with one of them about changes he could make to improve his situation, and even tried to give encouragement and help, but he never seems to take action. It is all very sad.
