The Homeless

Ok so realise that some people want to live on the streets for whatever personal reasons, fair enough, but for those you have no choice, i don't understand how the word 'homeless' actually exists and i'm talking about in the UK really because we are a fairly rich country in comparison. If people/companies etc can club together and gather money for the olympic games for an example, which is partly a fun organised event as well as a serious competition, then why can't the same people club together and help everyone off the streets. I'm not saying to give the homeless money because its not money they need to start with, and i'm not saying give them a brand new house fully equipped. I think there is a system whereby the homeless can stay temporarily in a hostel, and earn money, does anyone know more about this

I just think really if they are giving somewhere to stay, therefore having an address which can enable them to get a proper job = money = independance = 2nd chance at life. i know its not as easy as that but it should be
