I know three homeless people personally. Am related to one. Two are meth users, the other is on heroin. The one I am related to has stolen money and random stuff he could pawn from anyone in my family who let him stay at their house, so he became homeless cause nobody could trust him and he often wouldn't show up for whatever local job he got. (He has a truck and we gave him gas money until we learned he wasn't actually going to work.) Couldn't stay at shelters either because of drugs. Lived in a trailer in the woods for a bit with his girlfriend until she kicked him out.
