Why do you think the homeless remain homeless?
Is it due to societal pressures, a change in lifestyle, lack of motivation?
It's important to me to hear what you all have to say.

Its due to mostly choses that they make during their life. Its also a lack of support I think, from family and friends. Or just people in general
Choices is the keyword, at 27 i was married and homeless due to lazyiness and a bad decisionn several years later i was making 6 figures because i was motivated and making good decisions.
Our welfare system and unemployment system were originally setup to provide temporary help for people down on their luck, what motivation does one have when you are being paid to sit at home to do nothing.
The true long term homeless person probably has a history of mental illness of some sort.
I remember years ago in northern california a family of 2 adults and 3 older teens became homeless and was basically living in a park, it made the news because when they panned out the camera you saw the 5 cars that the family was driving, SUV, cadillac, 2 low riders and a hotrod, CHOICES!!!!!!!!
Power & Greed. Who is controlling you?
I have a hard time believing that people would be homeless if our society possessed values like fairness and equality.
It seems that everyone is concerned about money so you get what you need/want.
I have a better idea let's all work together to supply the demands of every single person.
Everything should be free and everyone will have access to basic rights such as food, water, and shelter.
