Homelessness
These are people who, generally through no fault of their own, become without shelter, or an address to be able to get employment or subsistence. Some resort to crime or drugs. Most are looking for a chance at life, again.

In most cities there are shelters that give many of the homeless population a place to sleep and usually a meal. The problem is that there are too few shelters and far too many homeless people. The shelters fill up fast, especially in cold weather. The alternative is a night curled up under a tree or bridge, hopefully in a place where they won't be victimized by whomever happens by. Homeless people are quite often targets of crime. The Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul are two organizations that help the homeless and destitute. There are many others by different names, sometimes local churches can provide some relief in their community.
What solutions will help decrease the number of homeless people?
Mathematically the number of homeless people are going to increase each year. The current tax structure does not redistribute wealth effectively thus "the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer" is not just a saying. The game Monopoly is based on our economic structure. The homeless are those that have lost the game. At our current statistical rate the number of losers are increasing exponentially. This was the cause for the great depression. FDR was able to resurrect our economy by raising taxes on the rich (winners) by up to 91% and redistributing it to the poor (losers) thus keeping all in the game. It will be tough to find a leader that could do that in today's era though as the rich now own powerful media companies that can manipulate the masses in ways that they could not in the 30's. Sorry

How much does it cost to construct a homeless shelter?
One inexpensive approach:
Procure some land outside the city limits and start a program. You could put in wooden floors and wooden sidewalks and pitch these tents. It's protection from wind, rain, sleet and snow and these people can officially claim an address. Work programs could be started whereby employers can pick up day labor from the available "pool" of workers. A 'Transition to Stability" program could propel these people into productive citizenry and permanent housing/employment.
I submit that there is no reason any human being should be without shelter and a clean place eat, shower and shave everyday and a place to wash their own clothes.
And there's not a city in this country that couldn't implement something like this within 6 months.

How many people were homeless in ancient rome?
In ancient Rome, estimates suggest that around one-third of the population, which could be as high as a million people at its peak, lived in poverty, and many of these individuals were homeless or lived in inadequate conditions. The exact number of homeless individuals is difficult to determine, but the vast urban population and the social structure of the time contributed to significant homelessness. Many sought shelter in public buildings, on the streets, or in makeshift accommodations. Additionally, social welfare measures, such as grain distributions, were implemented to help the impoverished population.

Actually, some student loans are forgiven if you work in certain jobs with certain populations. My Perkins loans were forgiven because I was employed as a program manager in a family homeless shelter. This was a federal forgiveness program. My husband worked as a public school teacher with disabled children and had an opportunity to have some of his student loans forgiven under a program run by the State of Florida. Loan forgiveness can be worth thousands of dollars so it is worth it to check with your lender to find out if there are any programs that suit your situation.
