With the global economical and political situation being
unstable for over a decade, many people, mostly from the lower social classes, are incapable of meeting the financial requirements of their governments. They often lose their properties, their job or their businesses, their financial independence and become homeless. Because this phenomenon is widespread we ought to sick its fundamental cause and ways to prevent it.
Firstly the drastic increase of homelessness is caused by the
decreasing employment rate. The statement above seems logical as business owners are unable to afford giving paychecks and the downsizings in the departments are more and more common. By the existence of the current situation, people are being fired and the unemployed ones have little chance to find a job position.
In order to help these people who have been treated as
criminals because of their lack of resources the government ought to make critical steps towards their rehabilitation to proper living conditions. All services aiming to the housing of the homeless should be sponsored by the government’s income. Services such as psychological support and job skills training are vital for their financial independence. As mentioned before the main cause of homelessness is the incapability of meeting the financial requirements and they are often evicted from their houses because they cannot afford their rent and bills. Strict laws should be implemented in order to reduce evictions and home reclamations. As a result we reduce the chance of people become homeless in advance. To conclude, this serious social and economical problem is always omitted by the authorized ones because it is proven everyday that human life is undervalued. There was always a solution to make our fellows humans’ life better. As Jeannie Mills , director of a homeless shelter said, ‘’ Chronic homelessness can be prevented with crisis response programs that provide immediate shelter and support to those who suddenly find themselves homeless’’.
