Provided evidence about the homeless, which most become homeless because of governmental issues. States homelessness has increased since the great depression. Also gives information about governmental plans trying to control the situation. This is a good source for my paper because it was published in 2007 which wasnt very long ago.

Guerrero 2 Talks about the kids who end up homeless after the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. Focuses on the life of a young boy who had no choice but to end up living on the streets. Gives information on a local NGO who helps those kids in need who have lost their families. This article is recent so it is very new information being released. Although it focuses on the incident in 1994 it proves that governmental issues can be the cause of these people becoming homeless and even worse family less, at a very young age. Ratner, Lizzy.

Discusses about the nationwide recession and how it affects people. The article starts off introducing a mother of three that is living off food stamps and welfare and just doesnt know how she ended up like this. The recession is to blame according to Ratner. She provides governmental issues that both help us and destroy our economy. This source gives me good information it is recent and I think I could have used it if I had found it sooner.

Rpt. from "Demographics of Homelessness Series: The Rising Elderly Population." National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2010. Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 9 May 2013. A sermon discusses the percentage rate of the elderly being homeless, which is not that high actually. She does predict that it will very much increase with time due to over

Talks specifically about a Japanese man who became homeless after losing his job. He lost his job because of a recession in Japan at the time; he has been homeless for quite a while now.
