Which of the following underlying factors most likely contributes to homelessness?
a. Substance abuse
b. Unemployment
c. Posttraumatic stress syndrome (PTSD)
d. Severe mental illness
ANS: A
The text states that persons as active agents do make decisions that result in homelessness. These choices result in a shortage of affordable housing, insuf?9?cient income, and scarcity of supportive services as societal conditions that contribute to homelessness rather than cause homelessness. However, these decisions are made in highly contextualized conditions, frequently addiction to alcohol and/or other substances. Substance abuse may in turn lead to unemployment which causes insufficient income. Additionally, PTSD and severe mental illness can cause substance abuse to occur.
