Abstract
This paper explores three articles that aim at providing more and detailed information on homeless people. Nowadays, there is a rising population without homes because of various reasons. The research conducted by different scholars shows that they have a common conclusion that poverty is the root cause of the homeless, especially in America. Thomas (2007) conducted a research and found out that many people when they suffer from being homeless seek refuge from the welfare offices as others join their family members or distant relatives to seek refuge. Research conducted by Wright indicated that the root cause of homelessness is the poverty as most of those affected compete with those who are wealthy for the housing facilities that are limited. As a result, it is found that those who can afford the facility displace those who cannot afford. Finally, the paper focuses on some possible solutions on how the problem can be solved.
