Seems to me that you don't need the "ready" or "epiphany" hypothesis, just stick with supporting someone's transition. Coming off the streets without any transition support is not only being "thrown in the deep end" but also removing someone from their previous life on the streets where they'd probably somewhat adapted, and had something of a routine and community.
