It is estimated, for exampI2that a s many as ten million people experienced homelessness in tkz country in the late 1980s alone. A number of causes have been attribute, to this surge in homelessness. Perhaps most important, a booming rzL estate market led to asignificant drop in affordable housing in many are= of the country. In several cities, single-room-occupancy hotels, which ha: long provided cheap Iodging, were demolished or converted into 1usur:apartments.
