Statistics show that one of the leading causes of #homelessness is unemployment (or underemployment). People become homeless for many different reasons. However, oftentimes, people need more employable skills or access to obtaining these skills. The job market is also intensely competitive. It is not unlikely that a single opening for a position will receive hundreds, if not thousands, of applicants.

Sadly, however, the people going to jail over homelessness are not the shifty landlords pulling off illegal self-help evictions. They aren’t the corporate magnates who decided to keep wages stagnant while raising rental rates by astronomical proportions. Charging half a million dollars for an average-sized house seems downright criminal, but sometimes justice isn’t just.
