I've seen guys who refuse to go to a shelter in the winter and it was in the midwest where it is really cold. Why? They didn't want to take a bath. They didn't want to follow rules of the shelter. They wanted to drink. All kinds of reasons. I knew a guy who lost all his toes from frostbite. It happens all the time. There are people on the streets who are anti-social and you can do nothing about it. It's a fact of life.
