Places with bad weather definitely have homeless populations. In the larger view, look at Chicago and New York City.
In the smaller view, look at pretty much any mid-size hub town in the Midwest, or Indiana at least. All of them I've lived in have shelters (the smaller towns usually don't). Food pantries of different sorts are fairly common too, even in small towns. A fair number of these are run by churches who have a mixed track record of how they treat folks staying there (turning away queer folks, forced work or taking possessions, etc).
It isn't like anywhere actually has year-round beautiful weather - not the sort that makes you eschew housing. Some places you just don't have to worry about freezing to death most nights.
