How is homelessness viewed in society?

Homelessness is often viewed negatively in society. Many people associate homelessness with poverty, mental illness, and drug addiction, and may view homeless people as a burden or a threat. However, there is a growing awareness of the systemic issues that lead to homelessness, such as a lack of affordable housing, inadequate access to mental health services, and poverty. As a result, there is an increasing effort to provide resources and support to those experiencing homelessness.
