 Homelessness
The homeless epidemic is a serious problem in nearly every major clay
across the country. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development, there are over 500,000 people experiencing homelessness on
any given night. It's a difficult challenge to tackle precisely because it is so
multi-faceted, both in terms of its causes and its for reaching effects
Homelessness affects not only the people who must struggle to survive on the
street, but also the business owners or residents in the neighborhoods. While
many factors have contributed to the rise in homeless rates, one of the most
profound is the lack of adequate social support services

A lack of free or affordable housing could be considered an obvious cause of

homelessness. On a purely practical level, if a city can provide enough
homeless shelters and other forms of affordable housing, the people who
would otherwise sleep on the streets can sleep for more safely with a
consistent roof over their heads. Social support services, whether they are
funded publicly or privately, would be able to tackle many of the immediate
and long-term challenges that face people experiencing homelessness.

 Homelessness
The effects of homelessness ore equally complex and can be mirror images
of the root causes. Because the person is experiencing homelessness, this
may put profound strain on personal relationships. Drug abuse can become
an issue, as the person seeks some way of coping with the pain and hardship
of living on the streets. This leads to a downward spiral that drives the person
deeper and deeper into the depths of crippling poverty and isolation.

Every city, every neighborhood faces unique challenges when it comes to

homelessness. While the specific root causes can vary between individuals,
the lack of adequate social services is a leading contributor The right social
services con address, reduce, or even remove some of these other underlying
causes. With powerful effects for both the individual and society at large,
homelessness is a pressing issue and are that must be approached with tact
and compassion.

TRANSITION WORDS
Paragraphs will be flashed and everyone will be
supplying the correct transition words used.
 ( ) the demands of the market are extremely high,
company’s factories are forced to produce more products in a
short amount of time. ( ), more workforce is needed to reach
the quota amount of production requirement. This is a great
opportunity for recruitment managers to hire desperate workers
that are willing to work for very minimum wages. ( ) a certain
production factory of a company becomes a sweatshop.
Sweatshops are factories where workers work extremely long
hours for very low wages under poor, often illegal, conditions.
( ) according to an humanitarian organization The World
Counts Sweatshop wages can be so low that they barely cover
essential needs. Some people work for as little as 3 US cent per
hour, often more than 100 hours per week in conditions of poor air
quality and extreme heat.
