I agree with this part of your post. The US (GOP really) doesn't care about equitable education, or equitable healthcare. They have failed these people. The housing issue is just part of the issue.
On the other hand, even the best societies have issues with homelessness. People who come from broken homes where abuse was there can often end up on the street, they will run away. If you're on the street it likely means you don't have much family support going on....which is why you're on the street, so I agree there's a failure of family here, which social programs alone unfortunately can't help. It's sad. Kurt Cobain was a sad man, he came from a broken home, he was a drug addict to numb the pain and then shot himself. Maybe his wealth kept him off the streets, but he ended up the same way in the end, so poverty is not the only issue here.
Not sure I entirely agree here. I bet these people are, emotionally or mental-healthwise, not very fortunate.

You need mental hospitals and you need to revise the culture at a foundational level.
Clearly, there is not enough social security or promotion of nuclear family.

The dysfunction is instilled at an early age, in school then promoted throughout the years. These people gave up to clown world as kids. The demographic is young, in their 20's and early 30's. Poverty alone does not breed this much dysfunction. Why don't you see this many defunct addicts on the streets of India, a place far poorer with far fewer resources to go around?
This is a cultural failure. These people choose to be this way because society told them from the day they were born; "it's ok to be different. It's a virtue to be the victim. These are all positive things you should strive for."
