This is a Stereotype
This is the Reality
- Every homeless person lives on the street
- Homeless people don't have jobs
- Homeless people may live in cars, shelters, motels, or other temporary shelters
- Most homeless people have jobs. They're just paid minimum wage
- Homeless people take advantage of the system
- Homeless people are at fault if they're homeless
- There aren't many homeless veterans because they are well taken care of
- A small number of homeless people receive government assistance
- Nothing can be done about homelessness. Homelessness will never end.
According to National Coalition to End Homelessness, top 5 reasons are:
1. Lack of affordable housing
2. Paid minimum wage
3. Domestic violence
4. Medical bankruptcy
5. Mental illness
- Veterans are actually 50% more likely to become homeless
- Preventing people from becoming homeless will help end homelessness. Shelters and charities help homeless people.
