The Reason Why So Many Californians are Homeless
A new study from UC San Francisco reveals that the primary cause of homelessness in California is the loss of income, with the majority of respondents stating that a monthly subsidy of as little as $300 could have prevented them from becoming homeless. The study highlights the significance of financial factors, such as poverty and high housing costs, as the main drivers of homelessness, surpassing addiction, mental health issues, or poor decision-making. The findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive support and integrated approaches to address the state’s homelessness crisis.
