The threshold to not being homeless is quite different than becoming a billionaire. There are resources to get off the street, get put together, put one foot in front of the other and get out of a homeless lifestyle. There are no such programs to turn everyone into a billionaire.
The ugly truth is, it is almost always a lifestyle choice. Makes no sense to me, but it is what happens.

No. Homelessness and wealth are (generally) outcomes of choices. Someone can choose to do those things which are proven to create wealth or they can choose to do only some or they can choose to do none of them, the last choice usually ends up in being homeless.

blow it out your arse. I'm speaking to the point of his actual homelessness. He has shelters and charitable programs to help get him off the street. Literally. But he'll have to give up his abhorrent behavior to be accepted and able to participate. He won't. Thats why he chooses to be homeless.

it is for someone living on the street in this country. They absolutely choose it through their behavior.

Correct. No one is homeless in this country for any significant length of time due to economics. It's either by choice, or due to drugs and/or mental illness.
There are families fat and happy, with homes, air conditioning, cell phones, etc., that haven't worked in generations.

Jesus didn’t give out free shite either
He made the blind hobos dig around in the dirt to find his spit and heal his eyesight

places like Haiti, Jamaica, Venezuela, etc., and go on these trips and come back and report to their congregations like they've been on deployment or something, why don't we TCB at home first?
Because once you go to those places you realize what poor/needy really is.
