The lack of stable, safe and adequate housing is risen in many cities worldwide. Homelessness, from my view, is caused primarily because of the absence of means and abilities to obtain a house, which translates into poverty.
The constant changes that the world has experienced and the great advances have mostly favored the upper class of society, further impoverishing the middle and lower class. Nowadays, access to quality education and resources has become a real challenge for the less fortunate in many cities around the world. This has led to part of the population not being able to reach the star of education, which in turn results in a poor population without opportunities. Thanks to this, many of these people find themselves unable to obtain housing, which often causes this condition of homelessness.
To solve this problem in the long term, governments around the world should focus their efforts on offering quality public education in schools and universities. Unless the problem of access to education is not resolved in many countries, poverty will continue to increase in the world. The wealth and resources that each country offers must be distributed equitably, so that we can enjoy a healthier and happier society. On the other hand, the current situation with the homeless could be resolved by creating shelters where these people can stay, and at the same time educate them and open employment opportunities for them, with the aim that they can develop their lives within society, paying their fees.
As we can see, this is a problem that could continue to grow if the correct measure is not taken at the proper time.
