Top 7 reasons why people are homeless
- Drug and Alcohol Abuse (Злоупотребление наркотиками и алкоголем)
A large amount of people became homeless when their drug or alcohol addictions caused problems in their life and caused them to lose everything.
2. Criminal Record (судимость)
А person may have a criminal record that makes it more difficult for them to gain (получить)or keep employment. So they can’t pay for housing expenses.
3. Mental Disorder (психическое расстройство)
Some people may also have very severe social disorders to where they can’t socialize like everyday people do and this can cause serious problems for them in life.
It can make simple things such as a job interview seem like an impossible obstacle to get around in order to gain employment. It can also cause serious problems with those that they are closest to in their lives, and can cause them to lose everything in life.
4. Physical Disability (ограниченная физическая возможность)
Somebody may become homeless when their disability prevents them from working a regular job or even getting approved for disability benefits (получение пособий по инвалидности)
5. Mismanagement of Money (неумение управлять деньгами)
When you get accustomed to a higher standard of living then it’s very easy to spend a lot more than you should and this is how so many people become homeless who once had money or made good money on their jobs.
6. Lack of Family and Friends (отсутствие семьи и друзей)
If a person doesn’t have any family or friends, or ones that are unwilling to help them, then who can they count on to help them out of their situation?
7. Laziness (лень) The most common perception of homeless people by the general public is that they are lazy and simply don’t want to work regular jobs.
