    Homelessness

    Uploaded by

    Edit Kocsis
    Homelessness is a significant problem, especially in large cities. Many people become homeless due to circumstances outside of their control such as poverty, inability to pay rent or a mortgage, mental health or substance abuse issues, relationship or family problems, or imprisonment. Being homeless damages physical and mental health and forces people into humiliating conditions. It is difficult for homeless people to find work or housing without an address. While some turn to crime or begging to survive, homelessness often results in poor health, abuse, and even death from exposure. Solutions include increased social services like housing assistance, counseling, job training, and temporary shelters, as well as preventative interventions.
