USA - The National Center on Family
Homelessness
"Among industrialized nations,
the United States has the largest number of homeless women and children. Family
homelessness is caused by the combined effects of lack of affordable housing,
extreme poverty, decreasing government supports, the challenge of raising
children alone, the changing demographics of the family, domestic violence, and
fractured social supports. As the gap between housing costs and income
continues to widen, more and more families are at risk of homelessness."
