Homelessness is the living situation where people have to live out on the streets or in a non perminant situation.


Right now there is an estimated 771,480 homeless people in the united states due to factors like cost of living, sub par minimum wage, the housing market, and several other external factors.

-The Executive level with the police having to deal with the homeless because police are bastards


-The federal level with the department of health and human services (HHS) and the department of housing and urban development (HUD)


  • and local and state government with efforts towards housing, anti-homeless architecture, shelters and food banks

another group I deem responsible is The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division because as the price of living goes up, the "minimum living wage" stays the same and becoming no longer viable to survive


Another group would be Real Estate Ceo's like specifically, Bob Sulentic, the #1 CEO for real estate and housing in America, and what they do is they buy up homes, raise the prices like crazy and make it so no one can buy them, resulting in empty homes and people on the streets


The last groups I would like to mention is Architects, urban planners and civil engineers for the concept of Hostile architecture which I will touch more on in the next part

There are some laws giving the homeless more rights such as squatters rights but often those rights are frowned upon and disregarded.
