Maybe not 'every bit as much their responsibility'. People can be backed into a corner, and do things we cannot imagine sitting comfortably in our armchairs. See "Les Miserables" for an example.

Fair enough.

But I refuse to remove all responsibility, because that's dehumanizing itself.

By the point someone is homeless it is abundantly clear that they are faced with a burden of responsibility they are incapable of handling.
