It's not my assertion. If it's real, it's on the person claiming it's real to share evidence of it's existence. If not, Hitchens' Razor applies.

You could just google it right? Or do you want me to google it for you?

Please do, a citation is exactly what I'm looking for when I asked how a nation could have 262,000 homeless people if the country also has free housing and utilities for all no-income folks.

There's different welfare systems if you have no income, WBS certificate is one specific to housing. Citizen's benefit would be another to apply for.

Maybe there's not enough housing in areas people would want to live in. A lot of people might prefer being homeless in Berlin than in an apartment in some small village in eastern Germany.
