Who are the homeless? Nowadays, we want to make more money and have a good family. However, some people do not have that because some people do not have earned money and do not have a home. According to Bidinotto (1990), usually most old people can be homeless because they do not have earned money. However, small children have increased among the homeless in New York City. Moreover, many people want to live in the city because they want a better life. However, we can see that some people do not have food to eat, money to spend, or a place to sleep.
What causes homelessness in the city? In my opinion, the economic system is not good because these days we have a problem between rich and poor people. “Economic recession, unemployment, inflation, decreasing availability of low-rent housing, and a low level of job skills have affected this groups” (Torrey, 1991, p. 35). Also, when people like drinking alcohol, it will make them homeless because if they have earned money, they usually spend money to buy alcoholic drinks. According to Torrey (1991), alcoholics and drug users can become homeless easily because they are spends money these products.
