This seems to be something people don’t always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that’s the case, change the setting and that changes too. In the places where I’ve lived, people often needed that mapped out. Where are they known in your rural locales?
One got transferred to a hospital last winter and eventually got into some kind of housing situation.
One tends to hang out at the Walmart.
Others are frequently in and out of one of the two hotels in town. We had three but they tore one down.
