Nearly one third of all people who are unhoused in the United States live in the Golden State, according to a new study released Tuesday.
The California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness also reveals 50% of all unsheltered people in the country – who may or may not have a car to sleep in – live in California. Almost 90% reported that the cost of housing was the main reason they could not escape homelessness.
"The results of the study confirm that far too many Californians experience homelessness because they cannot afford housing," wrote Margot Kushel, a principal investigator of the study and director at the University of California, San Francisco's Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative.

Lt Col Charlie Brown Solution, cross the border and come back with the illegals and pretend you can't speak English and the state will give you everything.

Sooner or later they will run out if money. It is the nature of their dependency. MHO

I believe that’s a crock. If they look a little closer I believe they will find these homeless who are typically drug addicted and/or mentally ill mostly can’t afford the “quality of housing” they want and/or refuse to work for it. The sad truth is they just cannot live by any rules, that’s the biggest reason they are homeless. I’ve personally seen it time and time again.

SFC (Join to see) I agree with you. Most of the people who are homeless are there because they want to be. There is a lot of help out there to pull people up from their bootstraps to become productive citizens. They choose their way of life in most cases.
