Technically, everyone including homeless people is also supposed to be entitled to the same rights.

From an excerpt of Article 25 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights:

  1. Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

I don't think many countries care what a piece of paper says.
