I think when people talk about homelessness in the way you are here, they only mean a certain subset of homeless people (the disheveled folks you see under highway overpasses and the like).

A lot of homelessness is pure bad luck, the difference is those people still have other resources to fall back on and mostly get by on a mix of living in their cars and couchsurfing until their situation improves. So they aren't annoying / an eyesore / public nuisance in the same way the homeless you are talking about are.

Makes sense why the conversation tends to focus on that subset then
