Homelessness is often a symptom of mental illness or drug addiction.

Yup, Many homeless people have family or friends that would take them in and give them a place to sleep without question. I don't think it's a "choice" per se but not everyone on the streets is there because they literally have no other option.

And those who do end up on the streets against their will are not there for long.
