Jesus and the Homeless.

Eliot 1I've been checking the stories in the Gospels of when Jesus meets people, and the conversations with all kinds of folk whose lives were difficult, in some cases desperate.
Surprisingly I couldn't find anything in his responses that translates into anything like "life-style choice".
 
Am I missing something?
Should I get a new Lexicon?
When he said "Arise, take up your bed and walk!", did he really mean take up your tent and go away?
 
More seriously.
Alongside the 'What would Jesus do', question, is the equally searching what would we do to Jesus if we met him?
And here's Jesus' answer to those who follow an anti-neighbour ethic: "For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me." (Matthew 25)
