Any time humans are suffering, there is a problem. Every person deserves a place to live, no matter how humble. A home represents a refuge, a place to be safe, from the weather and from other people. Anything less is unacceptable. The problem is how to remedy the situation.

how is homelessness not a problem? homelessness is a big problem manly in Africa and Indonesia. homeless people don't have a home, they don't have money, they don't have food or water. some homeless people have serious illnesses that they cant treat because they don't have the money. most homeless children have never been to school before. NOBODY deserves to live on the streets. EVERYBODY deserves a home. think about it, how many people do you think there are in Africa or anywhere else, that are as fortunate as you. To have a family, to be able to have a hot shower when ever ther wanted to. to be able to have a decent meal and clean water to drink.

I can't speak for elsewhere, but in Phila., Pa., there was a big thing a couple years ago about the record high number of foreclosures, in the city. A lot of the people were elderly, or had health issues and no insurance , or lost jobs because of business leaving the city. These are things that can cause homelessness. In Phila. I don't think it's exaggerated.
