He has a place to go. He chooses to live on the streets.
There are many things we should educate ourselves about the poor and homeless. It's sweet sometimes to buy the kids of a poor family something fun or sweet (ice cream or something) but it's a bigger help to pay an electricity bill or a more energy efficient form of heating. (Those awful baseboard heaters should be banned.)vv
Food baskets once a month instead of a feast basket for the holidays. Blankets. I'd say money but a lot of times the reason a family is so broke is because someone in the family doesn't handle money well.
Now we've learned that brand new shoes for the homeless is a bad idea. I wonder what would be truly helpful to them.
