Why refuse government help? You realize that's why people pay taxes, right? Literally around 30-40% of my take home pay is taken and I pay 23% on everything here, but at least there are no homeless. Why not accept the help of your government? Is it just pride?

Actually property taxes go to pay for schools, hospitals, roads and the like. We home schooled, took care of our health to avoid hospitals entirely, and it should be the commercial traffic that pays for the roads, or sales taxes which are more or less voluntary (you only pay these when you want and can afford something that is taxable).
There are other reasons too involved to go into here, but suffice it to say the government is just as unwilling to help as we are eager to avoid their assistance with chains attached.
Well, there you go: should have taken advantage of where your tax dollars went instead of trying to avoid the services that were made for you in the first place (unless it wasn't an option).
Honestly, good luck, I'm not sure where you'll end up with such a rigid mindset, but I truly just wish you the best.
Not so much rigid as stubbornly independent...something no government program/bureaucrat likes or won't try to quash. Also, due to actions of same, this definitely has never been an option for us.
