I was surmised to see so many homeless people living in the street.  The majority of the homeless I have seen are men.  It just shows me how luck I am.

I learned by talking to the homeless that there are four main reason why they are homeless (1)every year there is less affordable housing (2) domestic violence of battered woman. (3)I found the more people that are single have mental illness. (4) Drug addiction.  I feel the homeless can not face their problems and have nobody to talk it over with as there is a shortage of free mental health facility and hospitals for the homeless to turn to.  With the reasons I have mentioned above and the government and state cutbacks in benefits.  It is my view that homeless will double in four years or two years if we go into an economic recession.  

I can identify to the homeless because I left my home in Ethiopia at the age of 13 because of the war and lived in many different country's looking for a home .  I find it hard for anyone to live on the street
