Why Are People Homeless?

Two trends are largely responsible for the rise in homelessness over the past 20-25 years: a growing shortage of affordable rental housing and a simultaneous increase in poverty.  Below is an overview of current poverty and housing statistics, as well as additional factors contributing to homelessness.  A list of resources for further study is also provided.

Elizabeth Smart's family, though well-meaning and trying to help homeless people, "were not wise in hiring people directly," says the director of a health clinic for the homeless.
Allan Ainsworth, who heads Wasatch Homeless Healthcare, 404 S. 400 West, spoke Sunday to a group of about 25 at the Wagner Jewish Community Center, 2 North Medical Drive.  The care center, better known as the Fourth Street Clinic, provides services for homeless people.

Homeless Usually employed; Resources Can Help

My son and I were amazed at the smoke bellowing throughout the apartment buildings across from my condo.  The fire trucks blocked the streets coming in and out and the firemen were rushing in to carry out their      reuse.

Fellow neighbors poured out to observe the exercise, even bringing out lawn chairs and eating sandwiches as we watched the firefighters as they mounted ladders to climb in the building through windows and breaking down doors to defeat the flames inside.

We pointed out hotspots and lifted our kids so they could see the inevitable destruction.  Gone was the final bastion of affordable housing in that portion of our town.
