This is literally what people say about San Francisco as well: "They don't want the help" etc. etc. It's like the same thing.

Except in San Fransisco there are tens of thousands of homeless. The entire country of Finland has a fraction of that number.

There are indeed some homeless who would prefer to be on the street. There are also tens of thousands who are mentally ill, or just incapable of taking care of rent/ electric/ water, etc.
