Can someone please help me with this
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Is it possible to easily end Homelessness in America? The simple answer is no. If homelessness was so easily solved we, Americans would have solved it. It cannot easily be solved because all those who are homeless could actually have a home, if they work hard and pursue a healthier life. Others it is truly hard to have a home from different life circumstances or many other options. Solving these issues would involve housing all of these people, finding them jobs to support themselves, making sure they keep a job, and making sure they are making good life decisions. It sounds like being a parent, and it will be quite hard for a few people who already have their own issues in life to do all of this for (Find how many homeless people in America) people. However, I did not say it was impossible, but that topic shall be for another paragraph.
