You're using a very different definition of homeless than the person you're replying to.
Visibly homeless people– those who literally are living on the streets absolutely do have some sort of addiction or mental illness.

The definition of homeless I am using is literally "a person without a home". The person I responded to is using an incorrect definition.
That leaves two options. They knew this and they don't actually care about the problem of people not having homes. Or they didn't know that the "visibly homeless" are only a minority of all "homeless" in which case they can learn from this conversation.

I don't know how you can say this as definitively as you are.
