Sin is the root cause of homelessness, but it isn't the sin of the homeless, it is the sin of those who withhold housing.
Luke 14:13-14 "But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”

Not that I believe in this shit, but if he claims to follow scripture, he should follow it.
- I’m unfortunately surrounded by these people, and want to strengthen our side, so I’ll give a steel man of their response:
  
  Jesus was talking at a privately hosted banquet about what the hosts should freely do. He wasn’t suggesting that they should be forced by law to do so. I support giving to charity as Jesus taught, just don’t force me to via taxation.
