Food
A local charity has a twice monthly mobile food bank. Semi trucks pull into a church parking lot on a Saturday, to distribute perishable foods. The crowd is so large they had to move to an abandoned car dealer lot. It's a 4 hour wait before they start.
People aren't waiting 4 hours in 20-30 degree weather because they're lazy.
Probably the biggest reason for so many in California, is people figure it's easier to survive in a moderate climate, as to being homeless in a subzero Detroit.
