For the folks wondering how "we" would ever be able to help out an "individual" who is homeless, the linked NY Times article is telling. The author notes, "between 2015 and 2017, Canada reduced its official poverty rate by at least 20 percent. Roughly 825,000 Canadians were lifted out of poverty in those years"
This is evidence (not anecdote) that a community of people make decisions that can alleviate, or perpetuate, things like homelessness. The
abstract liberalism that folks lean on when they talk about "bootstraps" and free choice simplify complex issues and disregard complex histories that got us to where we are today.
