                In the world today there are many deferent circumstances that lead to homelessness.  But when narrowing it down to a certain area such as America. There are more people in today’s society that have no homes and live on the street or in shelters. We mask it and say that America has an opportunity for everyone to prosper. But why make it so hard to do so. There so many reasons for people to be homeless.

            One is rent prices in today’s economy. for landlords to keep their houses and not lose them they raise rent. Then the tenant is out of luck and cant afford to live there forcing them to the street. People are committing arson to collect insurance money, but this forces them to the streets as well. Think about it there is a flat piece of land around every corner were there used to stand a house.

            The economy is sinking and sinking fast the lack of jobs is making it hard to live. People how would live in their car can’t afford to put gas in it because the gas prices are almost at $4.00 dollars.  This forces them to sell their cars and go to a shelter where there is barley any room.

             Then you think about the tornados and earthquakes , all natural disasters. That take towns cities, lives, homes, and cars. These event ruin everything and people take forever to recover and restore their lives. Some families never do and they move to other states or countries.  Some never find new jobs and become homeless and their families are dragged to the same.
