The longer people are on the streets, the more difficult it is for them to get off the streets and back into mainstream society. The following are some obstacles that people may face in this struggle...
Obstacle #1 Lack of affordable housing
Low income (affordable) housing keeps disappearing from downtown. Portland has 55,000 low-income renters (annual household income < $12,000.) 20,00 affordable housing units are available.   Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 1998 Nationally: a shortage of 4.4 million affordable housing units. At least 2000 people in the metro area rent substandard housing. An additional 2000 people live in over-crowded housing. U.S. Census Bureau, American Housing Survey Report, 1998
Obstacle #2 ,[object Object]
In Portland, the “One Night Shelter Count” has risen from:  in ‘92,  1699  people (248 turned away)  to  2252  people in ‘96 (309 turned away) ,[object Object]
The city of Portland currently estimates there are about 2700 homeless people “in the system” (accessing or trying to access shelter) ,[object Object],These people are commonly called “Urban Campers” because they live outdoors within the city limits.
Obstacle #3 ,[object Object],[object Object]
In Portland, it is illegal to sleep outside within the city limits . ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Answer these questions. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],These are unfair questions because they attempt to reduce the issue down to a black and white duality (us versus them).  The issue of homelessness is complicated by societal, governmental, and personal variables.  These are not the right question to ask.  There is no ONE major cause of homelessness; each person’s homeless situation is dependent upon the convergence of bad circumstances. It is no one individual’s or institution’s fault for homelessness, but everyone is responsible for correcting this injustice, especially the wealthy and educated.
