Largely, because they choose to be. There is also the problem that the options to get off the street are unacceptable and intolerable to many, as most of the conditions remain the same only with a significant loss of freedom. Then there are those who are homeless, because they simply cant live by anyone else's rules. Of course there's a significant fraction who would give anything to get off the street, but again, find the available solutions little better than remaining homeless. The core of the problem is that gvt sees someone going down the drain and just drags them out to the edge of the vortex, but not out of the water; perpetually drowning, but never going under. There's a number of experimental solutions to try, but no one ever does.
