  1. I was homeless three times in the USA.  My parents showed me the door when I was 18, was the first.  The next two were due to divorce.  I never qualified for benefits or help, and my child died as a result.  I got fed up and expatriated when I was 37.  Over here in France, it depends on where you live.  I am outside Paris and this is traditionally the birthplace of communism and still communist.  Generally.  When shanty towns go up, they quickly get clean water and sanitary facilities brought in, but a lot of these people are here illegally and are actually a crime problem.  It just cost us about 1000 USD to replace a missing stolen part from our car here -- it turned out to be the shantytown people here illegally in my area and they put their kids up to it, to crawl under cars and saw things out.  There's no easy solution, and I've been on a waiting list since 2008 to get subsidized housing, which is typical (my spouse wants me out of here).  My quality of life is way better over here in France, however, than it was in the USA, that is for sure, and it's sad never to see your friends, family or country again but I had to go.  Legally, of course.
