Welcome to this series of posts regarding America’s large homeless population. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, between 2.5 and 3.5 million people will live in a homeless shelter or on the streets in the coming year. Experts say that the slumping real estate market and bleak employment outlook are forcing these people out of their homes. Many reasons contribute, including lack of affordable health care, domestic violence and mental illness according to the National Coalition for the Homeless.
