Why are there so many people without homes today?


Due to job cuts, poor economy, and other issues like alcoholism and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Because of the chronic racisms, phobias, and biases of the job market.

Because homelessness became about an issue, not about people.

Because our standardized society doesn’t care about the single people’s needs. Like any evolved society, actually.

Illness, accidents, it could be because of anything.

Lack of independence, both financial and mental.

“Luck” is not on everyone’s side.

Because of a combination of financial woes, rising cost of living, an underperforming and expensive housing market, coupled with rising unemployment.

People can’t afford their mortgage or rent anymore.

Some people aren’t given as fair of a chance as others.

With a bad economy, people lose their jobs.

An imperfect economic system. Because others are unable or unwilling to help.

Many people are still homeless because of lack of support, mental disorders, not knowing what to do.

Because they have lost their jobs, ran out of money, have no resources, or got evicted from their homes.

The economy, loss of jobs, loss of money. People who may have had enough money before now have none.

Because of the economy and people being forced out of their homes.

The divide between the upper and lower class is growing.

Because becoming homeless is easy, but getting back out of homelessness is hard.

Because it is hard to recover from nothing to something.

Because we have failed in so many ways.
