Why do you guess that?
Until the second half of this century there was almost no investment in affordable housing from the government and (with the exception of people with serious mental health and drug problems) almost everyone had a place to live.
There is (really) no need for the government to get involved in social issues ... Charities are many times as efficient as the government is because people are willing to work for free, and most charities are far more careful on how they spend their money than the government will ever be. Throughout history, whenever there has been a need for social services they have been provided by charities. Government involvement in social services just provided worse social services at a higher cost than would have been provided otherwise.
