You just can't hold down a job when you are homeless. I new a few who had tried, but something always gets in the way. That being said, a lot of missions/churches will let you use their address as a mailing address.

And there's been efforts to cut that down as well, some places won't accept a church as a mailing address for official ID, voting, etc.

However, monks/nuns/etc use a monastery as their legal address, and that's considered legal, so.... if Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption were to become registered again, and open monasteries throughout the US, homeless people could then in theory become monks and list their permanent address as the nearest monastery
