You tell them to count their blessings every day of their lives that they:

-don't currently suffer from a debilitating mental illness that prevents them from holding down a job or an apartment,

-weren't kicked out of their home by their parents for being LGBT,

-didn't incur a financially crippling medical debt which forced them to choose between housing or their lives

Or one of the myriad other reasons why someone might become homeless through no fault of their own in late-stage American society.

There but for the grace of God go all of us.
