Although the figure may vary , analysts do agree on another matter:that the number of the homeless is increasing . One of the federal government’s studies predicts that the number of the homeless will reach nearly 19 million by the end of this decade. Finding ways to assist this growing homeless population has become increasingly difficult. Even when homeless individuals manage to find a shelter that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night , a good number still spend the bulk of each day wandering the street . Part of the problem is that many homeless adults are addicted to alcohol or drugs.
