WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF HOMELESSNESS ?
There is not a specific one cause directed toward homelessness , but here are some of the main causes. .
Lack of affordable housing
Poverty
Unemployment
Substance abuse
Some of these cases may be the fault of the homeless but most of the struggles they have came upon are not to the fault of themselves. Unemployment and lack of affordable housing are two dramatic causes of homelessness that can not be prevented by the person themselves. We as an entire community and nation have to come together to make ourselves and our government aware of the challenges we face. This is the only way that we will come close to being able to solve the homeless crisis all together.
How many of the homeless are children?
"One out of 50—or about 1.5 million—American children are homeless each year, according to a 2009 study by the National Center on Family Homelessness. "
