George Bernard Shaw said, "The greatest of evils and the worst of crimes is poverty." This site examines poverty, famine, and war as historical causes of homelessness, as well as current problems such as domestic violence, substance abuse, and unemployment. It includes ways to help homeless people, case studies, national organizations, an interdisciplinary lesson plan for teachers, examples of homelessness in movies, literature, and quotations, and an extensive list of online homelessness resources and organizations.
