Agreed. In fact, I think most homelessness is because of choices. But if someone is victim to childhood trauma or mental illness or addiction, how much power do they have over their choices? Addressing these personal issues is the single biggest thing we can do to improve the homelessness situation, I think.

A question that I have is at what point is someone considered homeless. If your main dwelling place is a hotel room, or is it if most of your personal belongings are in a suit case. And then there is the technical difference between a house and a home.

At the end of the day, you have a group of people that society feels the need to reform but the majority (not all) like living the poor lifestyle (no job, no boss, limited bills ...) but thoes people do not like being poor when disaster strikes.
Describing 'homelessness' is like trying to find the begining of a circle. I have taken a look at the issue and I have an answer about how to address the issue, but I would like to know your opinion, how do you think that the issue should be addressed (I think that you would enjoy reading what I wrote...https://steemit.com/poverty/@captaintj/a-plan-to-help-end-poverty)
If you were given say 1 billion dollars and asked to design a program that would combat poverty, then what would the program look like?
(I would like to hear ideas from multiple people if possible!)

Homelessness
Homelessness is defined as living in housing that is below the minimum standard or lacks secure tenure. People can be categorized as homeless if they are: living on the streets (primary homelessness); moving between temporary shelters, including houses of friends, family and emergency accommodation (secondary homelessness); living in private boarding houses without a private bathroom or security of tenure (tertiary homelessness). The legal definition of homeless varies from country to country, or among different jurisdictions in the same country or region. According to the UK homelessness charity Crisis, a home is not just a physical space: it also provides roots, identity, security, a sense of belonging and a place of emotional wellbeing.
