Homelessness

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.
