Let’s stop with the narrative that being homeless can just be solved by working.

stop with the narrative that being homeless can just be solved by working. While it’s true that working can help get you out of homelessness it doesn’t solve it. There are many people who are working and are still homeless or still can’t afford to live anywhere. Some of these people might live in their cars or might be on the street or in a shelter. I’m just so sick of people telling me “oh if you don’t want to be homeless get a job”. I just don’t think that everyone realizes that if it was that easy no one would be homeless. I am looking to get a job and I also know several homeless people with a job and it doesn’t solve being homeless. It may help and it may lead to getting out of being homeless but it won’t solve homelessness and help you escape the cycle by itself. It’s takes skill luck to support a job family and several lucky breaks at least in my opinion.
