Wednesday barges into the abandoned building the dude is squatting in, strangles and threatens him. He's then later murdered by the monster and no one cares.

Which is all to say Wednesday can play nice with cops and every other authority figure but it's the homeless dude who gets strangled for having the audacity to ask what she's doing in his space. Yeah, hard pass.

Not homeless in the typical sense but most of season five is spent on the road without shelter, a steady food source, etc. Because of the outbreak virtually none of the characters have a “home” anymore.

As a person who has been there, I actually loved James as a character. I found him very honest, funny, and lovable. When you’re an addict living in a tent, yeah, all you’re thinking about is your next hit. That is the nature of being in an intense state of addiction. His actions all made internal sense for someone in that place in life, and they were used to further the plot in ways that would be difficult to get a stable, sober person to do.

Also, he has a name and his own segment of the story. He’s not a throwaway character.

Your character is effectively homeless, he doesn't remember his home address until you internalize a thought related to figuring it out, and the places of residence he stays at in the story are explicitly meant to be short term. There is also a thought called Hobocop, which can be acquired when he humors the idea of sleeping on the streets.

At the beginning there are a lot of homeless people who are shown to be violent, addicts, mentally ill etc. They are very threatening to the main character.
We also see the main character living in terrible conditions, then have his home destroyed and he leaves. This isn't resolved but could resemble some people's experience of becoming homeless.
