Dear Brian,
I hope you are well and that the first semester of school is going smoothly for you. I am writing in response to your question regarding the causes of homelessness in my country.
Firstly, Homelessness and poverty are inextricably linked. When poor people cannot provide for their kids, these resort to living on the street. Secondly, family dysfunction -conflict, misbehavior, neglect or abuse of children- drives children onto the streets. Thirdly, lack of affordable housing is among the leading causes of homelessness and pushes children and families to live on the streets. Lastly, umemployment may cause youth homelessness because losing the job usually means losing the source of income and home.
So, the government, civil society and the private sector should all work together to find a sustainable solution to this growing phenomenon.
Yours,
Mohammed
