homeless people ,,,,

i have watched a few docs on homeless people ,,, and to be honest i would never hand out money to any homeless person,,, for several reasons best known to myself ,,
but the bigger question is why are people homeless ,,, to which there are lots of reasons ,,,
and next the age range of homeless people ,,as it differs quite a lot ,,
so from the docs that i have watched including docs that have been interviews with all age ranges ,,
the following is what i saw,,
the young homeless people cover two main types ,,,the first are either alcohol or drug abuse ,where the family have had enough of them and kicked them out for making their own lives a misery ,,and these are the ones that just do not give a dam about anyone or anything except for them selves,but will always play the poor me card ,,
then you have the other youngsters who have left abusive homes or parents seeking a better life with out a plan of action and go couch surfing and the like until people have enough of them and tell them to move on,,
then you have the mid range age group ,that come from relationship break ups loss of job or just bad debts ,,this group also includes families with young kids in tow ,these are mostly eviction people and this group is going to grow at a alarming rate once moratorium ends ..
the oldest group has the biggest problems , mental health being a major contribution , no jobs and no job prospects ,and no family support ,drug and alcohol abuse ,these are the lost souls with little hope of a future ,,
homeless people live in motel rooms mainly families on what support they get ,the mid range tend to live in cars or vans as these still have jobs as such but never enough money to get out of the rut ,
the older generation are found in skid row if they are drug or alcohol dependant and in tent cities if they are not , tent city homeless people due to mental health problems cause more problems by piling up junk and trash all over, and that is why they kept moving on due to clean ups,
homeless hostels and shelters are not the safest of places probably the most dangerous ,
,,,this is a world wide problem that has never been solved surely with todays technology there must be a answer ,,but the truth is there will never be a answer ,,because you can only help people that want to help themselves ,sadly it is just another way of life or should that be a way of existing
