Homelessness in America

A topic that's caught my attention would be homeless individuals in America.  Major findings has reported that the state of homelessness in American continues to increase.  For example from there was an 3% increase from 2008 to 2009, or in other words the homeless population increased approximately 20,000.  Homelessness was also increasing in subpopulations such as families, individuals, chronic, and unsheltered.  As a whole 31 out of 50 states and the District of Columbia had an increase in the amount of homeless people.  At the rate that this is going homelessness around the world will continue and possibly double up in the future.
