In this article, the author talks about how homelessness in America still remains as a public health issue. In the article, the author also talks about how mental illnesses can impact the homeless greatly. “Poor health is simultaneously a cause and consequence of homelessness.” This quote is very true because medical bills can add up quickly, resulting in homelessness. Mental health can also cause homelessness because some businesses won’t hire people with mental health problems because they can’t work as well. In my paper, I will definitely be using this article a lot because it supports my points that I want to make.
