Yeah man I'm with you I too would like free housing!.... Sadly many of these homeless while wanting to work suffer from medical or mental health issues. They really don't function well in society and asking for the " full time work pay bills etc...." Isn't quite there...sometimes finding the right job placement is hard. I ve worked with some who make great prep cooks or dishwashers but don't hand them a phone. Frustration on both sides. I wish the solutions where just as easy as get a job and pay your bills.  For most yes that's what we do for others you'd be hard pressed to fix what's broken.
