"I never imagined that I would be homeless." Have you ever heard or read that statement made? Have you ever thought about it happening to someone that you know or, even worse, someone that you are close to? The facts behind this simple statement remain astonishing. The facts are that there are millions of homeless in America today.

Many of these people had no choice but to become homeless.

Economic problems such as being laid off work, or the rise in the cost of housing had lead people to live on the streets. Many of the homeless are women that have become divorced or have left home because of physical abuse. These women have no education because they have not been given the chance to go and get the education that it takes nowadays to get the job, so they are forced to live on the streets. They often have no family to help them and they are left with no other choice. People with mental illnesses also become homeless quite often and are too ashamed to go to their families because of their illness, so we see them on the streets struggling to stay warm.
There are many other people that become homeless for many different reasons.

Some of these people can not help becoming homeless. Some of these people are the illegal immigrants that come here from other places to get a better life but end up not having enough money to make it in this hard world that we live in. Teenage runaways have different reasons for leaving home but all have the same reason for becoming homeless.
They simply just do not have enough money. Others are drug and alcohol abusers and disabled people.

With this list of people there must be some way that we can help these people. There have been many programs that have been available to help these homeless, but only have only succeeded in the short run and have failed in the long run. There has been homeless in America ever since the colonial times and not much progress has been made in the 200 plus years in helping these people. We must think of ways to help the poor without homes - the homeless.

We should make these places safer for the homeless, and set up programs within these shelters that will help the homeless find jobs and homes. Homelessness is a big problem in our country today, but there are very few programs set up to help them. We all need to work together to help those less fortunate because you would want someone to help you if you where in that position, so we should do our best to help them.
