These days it is seen that large number of
homeless on the streets are increasing, and
that is accorded the statistics that (Centrepoint 2005 cited in Forrester
2006). That is possibly 80% of youth homelessness.
The possible factors that cause homelessness is that, first: the
violence that young people have from their families. Also, there might not
enough space for the people in the home. In addition, parents could be not qualified;
therefore the income that they have each month does not cover their needs. Second:
lack of unemployment plays a major role in this cause, because if they do not
have money they cannot live in the flat that may lead them to live in the
street. Third: poverty is as well is a cause of homelessness, most of the poor people having a dog
because the government provides money to take care of
dogs. Finally: “Probably the most common factor of homeless people is that they
are drug and alcohol addicts — with good reason. 68% of U.S. cities report that
addiction is a single largest cause of homelessness.” The solution for that
problem is to build for the homelessness a hostel to live there in exchange to
work unskilled jobs if they were unqualified.
