You would be a mentally ill addict too if you had to live on the street for a while

Most of them are addicts before being homeless. I know my dad had to kick his brother, my uncle out of the house because he kept stealing money/ things to sell so he can buy crack. He refused to go to rehab or get any help so hes out there homeless and we dont know what happened to him. Im sure thats how many of these addicts are homeless.

Why are you sure? I work with and talk to a lot of homeless people in the city and this is not very common.

Many of them burn bridges with their families/friends, it’s sad but it usually starts with addiction, which leads to homelessness. These aren’t people who were dutiful members of society who suddenly lost their job and are now getting high and harassing people on the subway for money.
