Best Answer

Before the 1960s, a "homeless" person was usually someone who lived in a cheap motel or a run down room. The "modern homelessness" epidemic in which homeless people often sleep on the streets probably began around the late 1960s during the rise of addictions to hard drugs. Crystal meth, crack cocaine and heroin are a powerful factor in modern day homelessness. Many homeless people are homeless because of hard drugs. Many (but not all) drug addicts choose to live a "homeless" lifestyle, which tends to stigmatize low income families. Largely because of hard drugs and the "choosing" of the homeless lifestyle, homelessness has become somewhat "normalized" over the years, which can result in communities having low standards for housing the poor.
