I disagree. The inability or unwillingness to provide for one's self is the condition, and there are many constraints which may force a person into that condition. Homelessness is a side effect and consequence of the condition.

Homelessness is a condition, it's not a character trait. I still find it shocking that so many find it so easy to hate the poor and the homeless and to blame them for those problems. Usually those people know the least about homelessness and poverty, but that rarely stops them from having an opinion.
