"With a freak-show economy in which unemployment has reached 6%--a 50% increase since November 2000--but housing prices have stayed at or near historic highs, the number of homeless appears to be at its highest in at least a decade in a wide range of places across the U.S." (TIME) This article examines the reasons why families are the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population and evaluates possible solutions to the problem.
