In the other hand there are the ‘chronically’ homeless which are the ones that decide to live in the streets. They choose not to look for work and use these government programs designed to help them in an improper way. Awalt also mentions how the truly homeless people are solely responsible for their condition and are the ones to blame for their own situation.
