City, border, body and time

Images like this are very moving, how long are we going to go along ignoring the needs of a homeless person? I know some people chose to live on the street, in a field or elsewhere but I sure many found themselves in this situation by circumstances that many could not imagine, we wouldn't let a dog roam the street, they need shelter, food, comfort, why are we letting down our fellow humans, why is there little or no funding from central government for this? We should be addressing this natural need.
When I saw this woman, she reminded me of a baby in the buggy wanting sleep, by covering her head with a blanket, to somehow act as a barrier against the sound and the dangers on the street.
