Top Causes of Homelessness in America

There are many misconceptions about why people are homeless. The fact is that as many as 3.5 million Americans are homeless each year, more than 1 million of which are children. |

Many people think that most of the homeless are repeating a cycle of chronic or episodic homeless. However, the fact is that more than half of the homeless are families with children who were forced into homelessness by one or more unexpected life altering events.
For example, the loss of loved ones, job loss, domestic violence, divorce, family disputes, depression, untreated mental illness, post traumatic stress disorder, and physical disabilities. Knowing the real causes of homelessness is the first step to ending homelessness in America and around the world. Read the complete article at: Top Causes of Homelessness in America |

Yeah it is truly sad. America has plenty of wealth. However, far too many people selfishly keep all the money to themselves. Some people have so much money, they do not know what to do with it. I read somewhere that there are 1.5 million homeless children in America. In addition, 1 out of every 4 homeless persons is a veteran. How is this fair? With the struggling economy, I expect that these homeless numbers will only increase!
