In 2008, everything has changed the homeless picture in our country.

We now have so many new homeless over the past several years, who have more skills and 'had more of their life together' before becoming homeless due to a much wider range of factors that what 'old homeless' people experienced in years past.

Any one of us can be fully employed today, living in a nice house that we do NOT even own (the Banksters do...) and you could literally wake up homeless, all of a sudden. Homeless tomorrow, wishing we had not been so arrogant as to think it could never happen to me..... The ELITE and GREEDY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. THEY WANT YOUR HOME AND THEY WANT YOU TO BE ON THE STREETS SO THEY CAN GET YOU ARRESTED AND SET UP AN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE WHEN YOU FAIL TO APPEAR IN COURT OR LOSE YOUR CASE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT AFFORD ADEQUATE LEGAL REPRESENTATION. THOSE FINES AND DEBT YOU OWE ARE SOLD IN BLOCKS TO BANKS AND FINANCIAL COMPANIES.

THEY WANT YOU TO BE ENSLAVED BY POVERTY, DRUG ADDICTION AND CRIMINALIZATION BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING A PROFIT FROM THEIR CON GAMES, PRESCRIPTION MEDS, SOCIAL PROGRAMMING AND GENTRIFICATION. WAKE UP! BANKS AND MORTGAGE COMPANIES ARE -NOT- YOUR FRIENDS. LEARN MORE TO DECREASE YOUR OWN IGNORANCE OF THE WORLD IN WHICH WE FIND OURSELVES LIVING IN TODAY.

Every day, we walk past people in the streets without having the slightest clue that they are homeless because they do not fit the stereotypical image.

Truth be told, we now know there are lots of famous and 'highly successful' people who struggled through homelessness and poverty.

Charlie Chaplin, Hillary Swank, Halle Berry, Jim Carrey, Martin Sheen, Harry Houdini ...

You all must know some more?

It's really true.

Homelessness can happen to anyone at any time for dozens of various reasons. Some people are almost completely responsible for their own homelessness situation, yet many others, are victims of circumstances beyond their immediate control.

Fire, divorce, bankruptcy, death in a family, banking, credit and credit card ripoffs, gentrification, downsizing, job outsourcing, plant closures, natural disasters, law suits, layoffs and more.
