    The numbers vary but most all agree about 50% of the homeless population were orphans. Studies also find that between 1/3-1/2 of orphans become homeless when they turn 18 and leave the shitty social network that clearly doesnt adequately help them be ready for life outside those places.

    Those numbers will only get worse as we keep shifting more money to the upper class and cutting social safety programs.

      US foster care system is little better than prison. Honestly, all past and current would have a good class action lawsuit against the US government.
