Well, I speak to a lot of homeless people. Maybe your cousin is trans or has some other identity issue or a disability that makes it hard for him to stay with people. What started him living on the street? Why did he initially move out of your aunt and uncle's house and at what age? Are they religious? Does he have trauma with caregivers such as sexual assault? How do you know he doesn't?

And fine, let him live on the streets and camp if he doesn't want free and clear housing. People camp all the time. He shouldn't be harassed for it. We are animals, we belong outside anyway if we so choose. I know people who have hiked for months across America. There are people who live in the middle of nowhere in Alaska. Why should people be prevented from living freely? Think throughout history - the idea is preposterous. The only reason we force institutionalization is to get slave labor.
