Where do the rural homeless near you live? (lemm.ee)

This seems to be something people don't always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that's the case, change the setting and that changes too. In the places where I've lived, people often needed that mapped out. Where are they known in your rural locales?

In a van down by the river.

I should've seen that coming.

Yeah, glibness aside though I really don't know of any particular spaces. There's a couple farmlands I've seen around that welcome 'vanners' but I get the impression those are more by choice folks that essentially camp here and there. Kind of the commune thing where they travel the country and live anywhere they want for a month or two.
