How is the issue connected to poverty?
Homelessness is connected to poverty because states with a higher poverty level, most of the time have a high number of homeless people. Homelessness deals with poverty because not many people want to help out the homeless. People think that the homeless can just go out and find jobs, which is not always true, and if the homeless can not find jobs then they are forced to barrow money that they cannot return. This makes the banks lose money and in then end the city lose money. Another example is that a hospital cannot turn away anyone with a medical condition, and since the homeless can not pay for the medical care, the medical officials get paid with the taxes that we pay. This makes the average citizen have to pay more taxes and lose a lot of money.
