Homelessness is a world wide issue that has not prejudice it can happen to anyone. It is growing yearly and faces a large amount of ignorance from all forms of society.

In this case, the problem of homelessness is again being perpetuated by neoliberalism. Assumptions about human nature People can learn reason – if we interpret this, as people are able to improve, the neoliberal model supports a reduction in homelessness. This means that a government that follows this model views homeless people as those
