The unwanted

Homelessness has always been a problem, but as time goes by it gets worse. There are many factors that contribute to homelessness. The increase in rental housing and the lack of "well paid jobs", are two major contributors to homelessness. Rental housing has gone up significantly over the past few years making it difficult to maintain a steady "home". Many people would think that the homeless are in that position by choice. I know I used to think that way. Every time I would see someone standing in a corner holding a sign: "Very hungry, could you spare some change?" I would say to myself, "he/she looks like they don't want to work." But I now realize that the average Americans are only a pay-check away from being in that corner.
