If I remember correctly, Poland and Baltic states have very low homelessness.
There are people that scour through trash bins to collect enough bottles. But they are technically not homeless since they live in old soviet apartments
Poland only has low homelessness because all the Polish homeless people left to Germany and Austria. There are 15,000 polish homeless in Berlin alone and tens of thousands more in cities all over Europe. If all those people would have stayed in Warsaw, it would be much worse than any Western European city and rival some American cities for homelessness.
Germany had very few homeless before the EU expansion of 2004 and Poland was by far the largest country that directly joined the Schengen area (Bulgaria and Romania were only in 2014).
