Homelessness And Citizenship Rights In The United States

Abstract: 8 pages in length. Various reasons exist for homelessness, including corporate downsizing and cutbacks, as well as a reflection of how spousal abuse has reached epidemic proportions; escaping an abusive relationship is "one of the main causes" (Morris, 1998, p. 241) to which women attribute their homelessness. Families with children, who represent forty percent of the growing masses of homeless people, are often the most victimized of all those having no place to call home. The writer discusses various elements that stand in the way of upholding citizenship rights for the homeless. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
