In addition, people who find themselves without a place to live face tremendous personal and psychological challenges in an effort to survive and manage their lives. The majority of people who are homeless are from vulnerable communities with significant poverty rates. Often, the homelessness problem of todays society is associated with socioeconomic factors such as poverty, lack of job opportunities, and lack of affordable housing. In addition, factors such as individual mental health, substance abuse, and social discrimination can contribute to someone becoming homeless. In order to address homelessness, many governments across the world have been implementing initiatives to help the homeless population. Governments offer their own interventions and services, such as providing permanent housing, temporary shelters, job, training and education opportunities, and financial assistance. Most governments also have strong collaborations with NGOs and other organizations that work to decrease homelessness. In conclusion, homelessness is a serious social problem that needs the attention of governments, NGOs, and individuals. All stakeholders need to work together to create effective strategies for prevention and rehabilitation of people facing homelessness. In doing so, a more equitable and sustainable world for all can be achieved.
