The idea of acceptance and getting back on your feet is very difficult. There is an opposition to homeless serving facilities called Not In My BackYard (NIMBY) showing that people prefer caring for homelessness is a less personal way, but when it comes to be a personal problem, they don't care for it. Their idea is that there would be more crime, a lower quality of life, and lower property values. Many people believe that homeless people chose to be homeless and are undeserving of many things because "they are all addicted to substances and are mentally ill". They believe that homeless people can be dangerous despite street homeless only taking up around 5% of all homelessness. They de-emphazised other contributing factors and turned the belief backwards where they come to the conclusion that the homeless don't deserve their help. 

The stigmas and discrimination can affect the wellbeing of a person. There are views that homelessness is controllable and that they just aren't controlling it correctly. There are stigmas about homeless people not being fully human as they "lack human qualities" and gets objectified. They are said to be not nice and scary, "the lowest of the low". This simply perpetuates the stereotypes and leads people down a worse road. One side of discrimination that can be seen as good is how it builds communities. It creates spaces where people feel comfortable around each other, although creating a bigger gap between the stigmatized group and the majority. 

There are also scenarios in which the homeless don't perceive themselves as homeless and refuse to accept and believe it. They could also build a self identity from being on the street, seeing themselves as an entreprenaur.
