Why they became homeless? How do they get help from people (if they get any help at all)? and so on... BE CREATIVE!!
Answer
I know about half the "homeless" on the streets of Vancouver, BC are just stupid kids from Quebec that come out west to live on the street like hippies (free love, smoke a ton of weed, play their drum and work on their dreads, etc.) and they do it because "its stylish"... its as much a coming of age thing for them as backpacking Europe is for so many others fresh out of high school. Sad thing is, it is working for them... you can apparently make up to $300 a day cleaning windshields. We call them squeegie kids and they're annoying as hell when you're stuck at a light as they come knocking on your window with a sign and start pouring dirty water on your car. I'm not mad at them... I'm mad at everyone who can't see through the sad look and a couple of ratty clothes and see its all a con to get you to give them some coins. With Canada's one and two dollar coins weighing everyone's pockets down, you can easilly clean up.
As for getting help.. they don't want it. They have more than enough saved up at the end of the summer to head back home when the rain starts to fall.
