Why does nobody ever recognize the people who refuse help? The biggest issue in my city are the homeless who go around threatening people, yelling at strangers, attacking pedestrians and refusing help or a spot at the shelter. We have services to help them, but no resources if they refuse.

I do get that part of it too, however it's a much lower percentage here that are unwilling to receive support. I myself have come across these types on two occasions, out of thousands of homeless people I've interacted with.

I guess because they're the most noticeable, and the ones people remember.
