	Homelessness in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1980s there was a sharp rise in the number of homeless families in certain parts of the United States; notably New York City.
		Critics of this approach point out that the reasons for homelessness are varied and that aid of this type will not materially improve the quality of life for persons who are homeless due to mental illness or substance abuse.
		In [3] Indianapolis, Indiana, as many as 2,200 people are homeless on any given night, and as many as 15,000 individuals over the course of a year.

	Making the Local/Global Connection
		Homelessness is fundamentally the result of economic and social systems that do not provide adequate access to affordable housing, decent jobs, health care, and a social safety net.
		The visible homeless people who we see each day on the streets as individuals experiencing deeply personal challenges, live within these broader social contexts and the possibilities in their life are shaped by these broader contexts.
		The economic and social transformations that have been shaping the United States over the last few decades, and which have resulted in the most current emergence of homelessness, are related to a global transformation of the way that governments throughout the world are responding to the social needs of their citizenry.

	National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness
		The homeless population includes people from all walks of life, so the question "who is homeless" is a difficult one to answer.
		Homelessness is primarily an economic problem, and is also affected by a number of social and political factors.
		The number of people experiencing homelessness exploded in the 1980s, as federal funds were withdrawn from low-income housing and social assistance programs for low-income families and the mentally ill. Current federal spending on housing assistance programs targeted at low-income populations is less than 50% of 1976 spending levels.

	Jew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The waves of immigration to the United States at the turn of the 19th century, massacre of European Jewry during the Holocaust, and the foundation of the state of Israel (and subsequent Jewish exodus from Arab lands) all resulted in substantial shifts in the population centers of world Jewry during the 20th century.
		The Kingdom of Judah continued as an independent state until it was conquered by a Babylonian army in the early 6th century BCE, destroying the First Temple that was at the centre of Jewish worship.
		By the mid-19th century, almost all Western European countries had emancipated their Jewish populations, with the notable exception of the Papal States, but persecution continued in Eastern Europe including massive pogroms at the end of the 19th century and throughout the Pale of Settlement.
