Research Question:

What are the contribute factor that generate homelessness in the United States.

The reason I am interested in this topic is I current work with the homeless population.   I have noticed increase with homeless population within the last decade.  I want to uncover what are some of the causes for the increase.  I am expecting to find from the research  how  different laws, policies, and the lack of funding for affordable housing are the contributing factors to the rise of homelessness.   My three resources to conduct my research are
