I have posted this observation before but still find it disappointing it doesn't catch on with our own homeless who are able but unhoused and unemployed. 

Illegal's come, do not speak the language and yet are not homeless or not for long. How do they accomplish this fairly quickly? (State of Oregon estimates 50,000 to 75,000 illegal's in 2015.) From a friend who immigrated from Mexico he relates the following. They go to an area where they have a contact..which makes things much easier...or they go to an area where jobs are available. Usually a labor job to start. Then within a few days negotiate with others, usually 3-4, to form a mini co-op. Pool their money and rent a room or small apt. Having an address is critical. Next a used car is a common purchase to get to and from work, grocery shopping, etc. After several months they get an apt., or room of their own, a better job...and develop their new life. They are very goal oriented to send money back home and build or bring family.
