Being Homeless, Not Fun

In a recent study it is estimated that there is about 750,000 people living in the United States. Other estimates show that there could be over a million people homeless in the US. The study shows that about 56 percent were found in shelters while 44 percent live in the streets all the time. The report says people bounce in and out between homes and living on the streets. Roughly 60 percent were adults while 40 percent were vagabonds living in families. The states that had the most homeless people per capita were located in the western United States besides Rhode Island. This study was finalized in January of 2005 and it was the first study of this in nearly a decade.
