How did we become homeless

Homeless Series

Chapter 1 -How did we become homeless?

I will make a simple statement here. We as homeless people are not going to be easily fixed. Most people will tell you that providing food and shelter will fix homelessness. That’s wrong. There’s more to it than that. Here is a list of reasons for my being homeless. Not all of the reasons.  I’m not sure I know what they all are.

1.              Substance Abuse

a.       Alcohol                

b.      Drugs

2.             Which lead to Legal Issues

3.             Then the financial problems

4.             Along with many bad choices

5.             Divorce

6.             Running away

Some other reasons for someone to become homeless are medical or mental issues, family issues, lost jobs, and the list goes on. Homelessness is just our way of answering to another problem or problems. If we can fix our REAL problems then we can fix our homeless problem.
