“Homelessness is the condition and societal category of people who lack fixed housing, usually because they cannot afford regular, safe and adequate shelter. The term "homelessness" may also include people whose primary night time residence is in a roofless shelter, in an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized, or in a public or private place not designed for use as regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.
The major reasons and causes for homelessness as documented by many reports and studies include:
- Lack of affordable housing
- Substance abuse and lack of needed services
- Mental illness and lack of needed services
- Domestic violence
- Poverty, caused by many factors
- Prison release and re-entry into society
- Lack of affordable healthcare
- Natural disaster
- Lack of education
The high cost of housing is a by-product of the general distribution of wealth and income. The rate of homelessness has also been impacted by the reduction of household size witnessed in the last half of the 20th century."
