Cities Homeless Population may be on the rise
By Megan Cottrell

This article is saying that the rich are getting more rich, and the poor are becoming more poor. It is as simple as that. The less wealthy people are unable to find jobs in order to support their family, and begin to lose money on the basic necessities. They are unable to find jobs because of amount of people looking for jobs, and the small amount of work available. In Deerfield, a simple job at Best Buy would be a dream job for most people living in the streets of Chicago. A homeless shelter has had to double the amount of families in a room for 8 out of 10 rooms. The director of the shelter said that the people who are coming in are becoming average Joe's, the amount of homeless people in the city has forced the building of 200,000 housing choices. This investment is necessary to stabilize the families and the community. With the incoming of immigrants and the birth of children, the population has reached the maximum for the city of Chicago. People are now moving to Chicago for the homeless shelters. As the rich get more rich, the poor become more poor, it is as simple as that.
