I read an interesting interview once with a homeless advocate out of Washington, D.C. which has one of the largest homeless problems in the States.

There is a group of homeless people that they don't count because they usually stay with friend on their couches because they can't afford housing, I think they were called the living poor because they and their hosts were usually one missing paycheck or one argument from losing their homes, yet they don't get some of the "benefits" of the homeless.

There's also a large group thats not trackable becuase they're not registered for social services, or un-employment or welfare, and they don't use the shelters, and the largest percentage of that are the serious drug abusers or mentally ill.

I was thinking about this today as I drove into work though. And there aren't a lot of truly lazy people living off of the system that would want to be homeless or unemployed on a day like today. For the most part the lazy bums that you speak of are more seasonal in that they only come out during the warmer months.
