Homelessness in America! July 31, 2019. In a reading a report from the National Law Center of Homelessness and Poverty. Domestic violence is the leading cause of homelessness among the women. Other causes of homelessness for men and women of the United States are lack of affordable housing, unemployment, poverty, and low wages. According to the National Law Center of Homelessness and Poverty statistics are alarming: 564,708 people in the US are homeless. A recent report, recorded that over half a million people were living on the streets, in cars, in homeless shelters, or in subsidized transitional housing during a one-night National survey as of January 2018. There are three types of homelessness. 1. chronic homelessness are those who are homeless for long excessive periods of time. Mostly, older or injured people. This is the least common type of homelessness. 2. Transitional Homelessness are people who stay in a shelter for a short period of time. 3. Episodic Homelessness are those who frequently go in and out of homelessness, usually the young, and due to abuse, unemployment, and experience with their mental illnesses or medical problems. From reading the Coalition for the Homelessness. The proven solutions are stabilizing people through shelter, moving them into permanent housing and implementing assistant programs. Federal housing assistance programs are one of the most successful housing-based solutions to reduce homelessness. There are two Federal housing assistance programs, which are, public housing and federal housing vouchers, known as Housing Choice Vouchers or Section 8 vouchers. Housing vouchers allow low-income households to rent and adjust with the family's income. But in one of my readings of the Global Government Forum-the US government could run out of money over this summer. The government is 22 trillion dollars in national debt, sending shock-waves through global financial markets. I critique, but what can we do as of the fact that money placing US debt is money going to the military, welfare, and HUD. What are we to do if we run out of funding and finances? I meant what is the government must do if we run out of funding and finances?
