A lot of homeless people are not alone. Sometimes whole families or single mothers/fathers with children are homeless. It is estimated that 50% of homeless people are children under the age of 18. That means that at least one of the parents are homeless also.
I would Say that homeless people are considered a resident of a state at some point. Most people are not homeless from the day they are born. At some point I would think that someone is born in a hospital with a birth certificate and is claimed as a resident. If they are not considered a resident of a state then would they not be considered a US citizen???

All states arrest homeless people that have committed a crime. Typical crimes committed by the homeless include, vagrancy, panhandling, criminal trespassing, and theft. However, being homeless in itself is not a crime in any state.
California was the state with most homeless people in 2005, about 170,000.
Please be more specific as to what state you are referring to.
The Tri-State tornado destroyed an estimated 15,000 homes. Assuming 3 to 4 people per household, this gives us an estimate of 45,000 to 60,000 homeless.
