It's impossible to not have homeless families. The main reason a single mom, or a family, wouldn't seek housing assistance is drug abuse. They're afraid they'll lose custody of their kids (especially if they have prior convictions) and opt to live in a car, camp-out or other less than optimal environments, to avoid social service workers.
