Like the other person said the welfare system is apparently that bad in the US.

But in Europe I've mainly seen people with mental/drug issues and those from fringe groups like gypsies. There have been plenty of projects involving giving them housing for free, but it never works. The neighborhood quickly becomes a no-go area with constant police presence. They sell all the inventory for drugs, flats become dirty and infested etc.

There's a reason these people are homeless and that has to be solved first.

But if regular people are homeless then the system is really failing them on basic welfare :(
