Content: Many people have healthy jobs until an unfortunate occurrence like a downsizing or closure of business strips them of their employment. It is worth noting that employment doesn’t necessarily translate into homelessness. An unemployed person could still hold down a house, while an employed person could find himself living in a tent city. Why are people unemployed and homeless? While unemployment doesn’t necessarily cause homelessness, there is a strong correlation between the two. Many unemployed people are homeless because of a lack of financial resources to fund their accommodation needs. This rings true when you consider the skyrocketing property prices around us, especially in urban cities. If a person can’t earn enough to keep up with the rise in rent and other utility costs, they will either be evicted or forced to give up their home. While it is not impossible for homeless people to find employment, it can be difficult. Homelessness makes it difficult for individuals to invest in skills training, for instance.
