In 2013, the federal government institutionalized Housing First—the provision of permanently subsidized housing—as the nation’s exclusive approach to homelessness. Services to address the conditions that often accompany homelessness were wholly defunded, and resources were instead reallocated to additional housing vouchers.

Culture There are many different speculations as to what has provoked the rise in homelessness in the United States.
