Why do we have so many homeless in the USA ,if the economy is doing so well?
they say the jobless rate is down,but the shelters are full all the time.
Answer:
Homeless people are usually not counted in the unemployment rate. They are not typically part of the labor force.
People who are homeless for long periods of time almost always have a mental illness or substance abuse problem. What do we do about it? It is not as simple as you think. You say get them help. Well, court rulings have determined you can't force someone to take their medications or into treatment unless they are really dangerous.
Because our financial and societal systems in the US are designed to make people fail and keep them down.

Because the current administration is right winged.
What is your basis for comparison? The unemployment rate in the US (as a whole) is about half that in, say, Spain or France. Also, I think that most of the homeless aren't unemployed as such -- they're out of the labor force, in that they aren't actively seeking jobs.
In a population of 300 million people, you're going to have a large absolute number of people with mental illness and catastrophic drug addiction. As mentioned above, we don't just lock these people away anymore, and you can't force them to do things they need to do to get off the streets.
