        无家可归者在美国人口中所占的比例越来越大。实际上，无家可归者的数量已达如此规模，以至于地方政府都无法应对。为了帮助无家可归者走向自立，联邦政府必须支持就业培训项目，提高最低工资，并资助建设更多廉价住房。

        美国有多少无家可归者，大家意见不一。估计的数量从 60 万到 300 万不等。虽然大家估计的数字可能不尽相同，但分析家们对另外一个问题的看法却是一致的：无家可归者的数量正在持续增长。联邦政府的一项研究预测，到这个十年结束时，无家可归者的数量将接近 1900 万。

        找到帮助日益增多的无家可归者的方法变得越来越困难。即使无家可归者设法找到了收容所 —— 能够为他们提供一日三餐和晚上睡觉的地方，还是会有许多人每天大部分时间都在街头流浪。部分问题在于，许多无家可归的成年人都酗酒或吸毒成瘾。而且，相当多的无家可归者患有严重的精神疾病。还有许多人虽然不酗酒、不吸毒，也没有精神疾病，但就是缺乏改善自己生活现状所需的日常生存技能。《波士顿环球报》记者克里斯・雷迪认为，只有通过全面的规划来解决这些无家可归者的各种需求，这种局面才有可能得到改善。正如马萨诸塞州本特利学院社区服务部主任爱德华・兹洛特科夫斯基所说：“各种规划必须协调运行。我们需要的是一揽子计划。”
