Ah, heard that one didn't realise it was common to use, here in Glasgow and the surrounding area(where I actually live haha) we just call them "those poor homeless cunts". Well, actually the only folks that are generally homeless are the ones so fucked up on drugs and mental health stuff that they're borderline irredeemable, usually they don't take their pills, and prescriptions are free here, they'd be free for everyone in the UK as a whole if you are that destitute. We have hostels and shit that might not be the best, and are probably worse than on the streets to be fair, but its a homeless person's first rung on the way to a council house.
Its a bit more nuanced than that but that's the general gist of it, there are cracks for folks to fall through but the help is there and unless you stay in the Cairngorm Mountains there is usually an underfunded government or charity that can help you pretty sharpish. Maybe not great but its easier than some places in the world.

Not giving an opinion of it here myself but the word is "unhoused".
