Very hard...I will not handicap other races and cultures than my own, but, being half Spanish (Hispanic), I can say that when the call went out the extended family would show up and work until the job was done.
And when our extended family would call, my Mother was not about to let us put on a poor showing.
I've always thought that was a good template. The support structure was always there. There was also an expectation that working hard was the norm, that anything less was silly.
Concerning the homeless, it is never simple, often less about society than the individual. There is such a sadness in my heart when I interact with them...I am a stupidly soft touch. Good thing I live in a rural setting.
