When it comes to homelessness, society often stereotypes the causes of a person becoming homeless. Comments towards homeless individuals may include a person who is: lazy, unwilling to work, drug dependent, alcoholics, panhandlers, and other negative comments.
While this may be true for some individuals, it does not apply to all. The lack of awareness that homelessness is a social problem and that at any time someone can become homeless due to their circumstances, prevents society members from empathizing with those in need.
