Out of gas in Murray KY on way to AZ
A guy was at Walmart trying to raise money for gas and food in a class C so some others helped out and I topped off tank. Hoping he makes it to Phoenix.

Pretty simple don't need statistics. The shelters do not allow drugs or alcohol. The true homeless down on their luck DO utilize the shelters and are NOT on the street at night.....the remainder are, I.E. the ones that will not give up their drugs/alcohol for the night for a warm bed to sleep in.
How do you define "true homeless" or "down on their luck?"
The ones that seek shelter and take advantage of ALL that is offered by the government, churches,etc. There are more shelters than there are homeless.
AND there are many organizations that GO OUT and SEEK and help the less stable people find shelter. You will not find the ones that want to help themselves out in the streets. Stealing money to support their habit and funding the dealers.
The ones that don't want to give up their drugs to abide by shelter rules for a warm place to sleep and get help, well those are the ones still on the streets. :(
Been there done that. Spend many of my hours on this earth donating my time and money to help people down on their luck. I see it first hand.
