I think there's a lot of factors that would lead someone to these beliefs, but the main one is capitalism. Believing that unhoused (or homeless depending on how one views themselves) people want to be homeless is propaganda designed to make _you_ afraid. Capitalism doesn't want people to have compassion and care for others because that can't be effectively monetized.
