Yes. We have welfare, food stamps and related programs, which consist of transfer payments to non workers. In most regions we have homeless shelters, which provide beds and food. Various regions have a variety of other programs.
In particular, I believe Seattle guarantees a bed in a homeless shelter. I know NY does. People live outside the shelters anyway.
