Being Homeless is not a CrimeMost people do not become homeless for what they have done, but rather for what has been done to them.People lose jobs, get sick, and then have their homes foreclosed on or are evicted from a rental, because they didn't have enough money.To a large extent, it's not their fault. Inflation is the biggest problem, and wages haven't kept up with inflation.

(AP) — Army veteran Don Matyja was getting by alright on the streets of this city tucked in Southern California suburbia until he got ticketed for smoking in the park. Matyja, who has been homeless since he was evicted nearly two years ago, had trouble paying the fine and getting to court — and now a $25 penalty has ballooned to $600." "There's been a sharp uptick in the past year in the number of cities passing ordinances against doing things on public property such as sitting, lying down, sleeping, standing in a public street, loitering, public urination, jaywalking and panhandling, said Neil Donovan, the executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless."
