Homelessness, hitchhiking, panhandling, and homeless shelters!

     Homelessness is defined as the condition of not having a permanent place to live, only recently perceived as a societal problem. Estimates of the number of homeless people in the U.S. in the early 1990s range from 2 to 3 million, and the problem exists in all major cities and a growing number of smaller communities. The causes range from large-scale deinstitutionalization of mentally ill people to disintegration of the social fabric in minority communities, drug and alcohol abuse, cutbacks in federal social welfare programs, job loss, and real estate speculation.
