11. There are some homeless that prefer to live in the streets

In places like Los Angeles the weather isn't as difficult to be outdoors as in many other places.

I have seen people that refuse to accept help including from their own family .

The homeless that will most be helped by these type of things are people that aren't in the streets. They accept and seek any shelter they can find . They are still considered homeless as they don't have their own regular home and have to keep moving around and are in temporary places .

When people refuse shelter that's offered, it's usually because the shelter comes with conditions WhiskeyGrinder Jan 2023 #16
