The police confiscate the goods of the homeless on a regular basis and shove around people they suspect of being homeless. The organizations that are helping the homeless in OC are all private.

All making a huge profit of the supposed American poor. The homeless in Orange County are mostly illegal immigrants,its just a fact. If your going to give to non-profits in Orange County, i suggest you put your money to better use and send it down south to families and homeless kids.

Just wondering what their definition of "homeless" is. I've heard many definitions and almost all of them make the truly homeless man pictured above a small minority in their homeless calculations. I've even heard of definitions where you are homeless, if you are living with family and the person who owns/rents the place has a different last name than you. I don't post to minimize homelessness just to point out that the 21k figure might not be a lot of readers interpretation of "homeless" “According to Orange County’s 2009 Point in Time Count and Survey, 21,479 residents experience homelessness throughout the course of one year.”
