Why does homelessness exist?
Two trends are largely responsible for the rise in homelessness over the past 15-20 years:
a growing shortage of affordable rental housing and a simultaneous increase in poverty.
Below is a list of additional factors contributing to homelessness.


• Poverty
• Housing
• Eroding Work Opportunities
• Other Factors
• Decline in Public Assistance
• The Story of One Man

Homelessness results from a complex set of circumstances which require people to choose between food, shelter, and other basic needs.
Only a concerted effort to ensure jobs that pay a living wage, adequate support for those who cannot work,
affordable housing, and access to health care will bring an end to homelessness.
