If you have to sleep outside, getting cold, not feeling safe and not eat properly and of course feeling bad about your situation and the things and people you have lost some feel the need to turn to alcohol and drugs to be able to cope, just like many who are not homeless turn to alcohol and drugs to deal with their problems. Some are also mentally ill without insurance or relatives.
It is difficult to estimate the exact number of people who have lost their jobs specifically due to drug use. Job loss related to drug use can be influenced by many factors, including the individual's job role, company policy, and local laws.

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.
