Many sites have the video and story now. The one I like best is People Magazine's:

"I know you told me you lived down the street, but I mean where exactly do you sleep?"

That's the question Elvis Summers asked his new friend Smokie. Summers and Irene "Smokie" McGhee had struck up a casual friendship as McGhee, 60, stopped by his apartment most mornings to collect recyclables and chat.

"I figured she at the very least had a cardboard box, a tarp, or something, but she had none of that," Summers, 37 tells PEOPLE. "She was like, 'Well, I don't have anything I just sleep next to the building.' "

Much more at link:
