What causes homlessness?

Answer 1

There are a variety of reasons why homelessness exists such as a lack of affordable housing , the loss of income/job , health reasons where the exorbitant cost of health-care has ruined finances , a job that does not pay a living wage , the high cost of renting/owning an apartment or home , an addiction that has brought someone to ruin (or an addiction acquired while homeless in the hopes of finding relief from an intolerable position of being homeless , a matter of choice , homelessness is perpetuated by the fact that to 'get back on your feet' and rent a home you have to make good on any previous bills owed (rent and utilities for example) , the lack of credit , extenuating circumstances and many other reasons too many to enumerate . Homelessness is usually not a matter of choice .
