""homeless are either mentally ill or drug addicts or both
Citation needed."
Really? You need citation for this? Have you ever seen homeless, talk to them?
"Lifetime mental health problems have been found in over 60 percent of chronically homeless people, and greater than 80 percent have experienced lifetime alcohol and/or drug problems (cross-tabulation estimate, Burt et al., 2001). In a study contrasting homeless people with a matched, never-homeless sample, North et al. (1998) found that chronicity of homelessness was associated with symptoms of alcohol use disorder, schizophrenia, and antisocial personality disorder, as well as an earlier age of onset of drug use disorder and Axis I and Axis II psychopathology. The association of homelessness and Axis I disorder has also been reported by Folsom et al. (2005).
Cycling through jail and prison is a common occurrence among people who experience chronic homelessness. Zugazawa’s recent study (2004) of sheltered homeless adults, in which 82 percent of men and 52 percent of women had histories of incarceration, illustrates this fact."
"Clearly, the penguins have finally gone too far. First they take our hearts, now they’re tanking the global economy one smug waddle at a time. Expect fish sanctions by Friday."

"I don't want live in the country where unfortunate and pitiful denied help
So what are you gonna do now?"
Move to your imaginary country where I would work hard so homeless have money for drugs, apartments and battlers. :-)
