Well yeah, homelessness is a global phenomenon. It probably is in correlation with how capital minded a goverment/society is. Sure the goverment will make homeless shelters and soup kitchens but that sure as hell isn’t enough. I’m from europe an the last few years there has been a stream of immigrant from the middle east because of this the goverment has done even less for our homeless patriots, who don’t commit crimes. It is like they have been forgotten. After all we all know how politicians act, for them it is the public eye that matters not a heart of compassion.

When Jesus said “The poor ye have always with you”, He wasn’t saying to ignore them and not show charity. The greatest gift is love (or charity).
For every country that exists that has governing leaders and/or rich people, there is no excuse for homelessness.
It’s true, there are some people who create their own bad situations in life and end up where they end up. No matter how much you try to help them, they just stay down.
But most often homeless people live the way they do because they have either always been poor or were once financially sufficient but have fallen upon hard times. There are those who have the power to extend a helping hand, but they are too selfish to be bothered. They have other “priorities”.
Many religious organizations or charity foundations do what they can to address this social problem. But there are people in government positions who actually have a job where they are supposed look out for the welfare of the poor citizens and they don’t do their job! But they still get a paycheck. There are other people who have more than enough money and can donate the funds – I said DONATE – to create homes, serves food, etc. It’s their money. You can’t tell them what to do with it. If they choose to turn their heads and look the other way, it’s their decision.
Homelessness is a problem than can easily remedied.
Homelessness, “the have-nots”, exists because of the selfishness of “the haves”.
