some towns , counties, even have and enforce laws such as vagrancy meaning if you have no home and are living sleeping, standing, sitting in any place you do not pay for you can be charged money you might not even have.. people like myself are on the Waiting list to get housing but there are so many on the waiting list that they cannot possibly house everyone. it is a waiting game that can last any where form 6 months to 12 years, if you’re lucky.
