alt Hacker NewsThat Venn diagram is pretty close to a circle, at least when talking about homeless people that don’t have a friend/relative they can stay with.

Utterly and completely untrue and you should be embarrassed for saying so

False, and harmful. US HUD says it's ~16% of homeless people, other sources give different numbers, but it's certainly not a majority, let alone anywhere near 100%.
The biggest problem, unsurprisingly, is housing cost. The US GAO states that a $100 increase in median rent correlates to a 9% rise in homelessness. Rents have gone up a lot more than that.
