This perspective is a tragedy, and is just not the case.

Guess what--It's hard to get a good job with a criminal record, and it's easy to have a criminal record when you are black/brown.

So you take a bad job. And with that job, you remain so poor that you cannot handle the slightest emergency. A huge bill or disaster in your life (medical; car; legal) can pretty much end you. If you don't have a strong network to support you, you become homeless.

How do you reconcile the fact that most homeless people have some sort of family structure that is not homeless? I've never seen any evidence that homelessness is an inherited condition.

You blame both will power and genetics. Why are you so anxious to believe that society has no role in creating or solving this problem? If you make access to education equitable; if you don't ruin people's ability to engage with the economy with drug offenses that statistically appear quite racist in their skew; if you treat mental problems with medical assistance rather than criminal justice systems; if you regulate housing markets to prioritize making housing affordable rather than prioritize generating passive income for upper classes-- you can have a meaningful reduction of homelessness.
