The reason a person has become homeless is equally variable. Many have lost a job through illness or have left home to escape abuse. What they do have in common is a tough life on the streets where they have to concentrate on just surviving. They tend to die younger than the housed population and their death is more often a violent one. Most days are spent without normal human contact, and access to services that we take for granted, such as doctors, are more difficult. |
