I'm all for making people be responsible for their actions. But its not simply a "go to XYZ program and get help" situation either, because the funds simply isn't there to help everyone. So programs have to prioritize who's more important: the single mother with three kids or the single man? These are decisions that have to be made everyday.

How did they become homeless in the first place?
