As the 1990s have progressed, many of the homeless are now mothers with dependent children. They are unemployed, and have little to do during the day, and little hope of anything getting better. The sense of despair and hopelessness is tangible. The poor easily feel down on themselves. Parents find that they quickly become exasperated and impatient with their children.
Children receive a start in life that is dead-ended by violence and abuse.
