Homelessness became increasingly visible in Canada during the late 20th century, particularly in the 1980s, as economic changes, including the decline of manufacturing jobs and cuts to social services, led to rising unemployment and poverty. The deinstitutionalization of mental health patients also contributed to the issue, as many individuals found themselves without adequate support. By the 1990s, homelessness had become a significant social concern, prompting government and community responses to address the growing crisis.

Why did some homeless people chose to be homeless?

Not always, most homeless are homeless due to losing a job, not having money to continue on their rent and such.

There are a few though that did consciously choose to become homeless and love it.
