The homeless population in the United States is one of the most glaring examples of our many societal defaults, ranging from a lack of efficient and lasting social aid resources, ineffective mental health engagements, and increasing wealth inequality. Today, we have seen how even people who would once have been considered part of the middle class, find themselves in a situation known as the “working poor”, or people who work full time jobs and make too much money for government assistance, but still cannot afford a roof over their heads. Socks and shoes are some of the items most commonly needed amongst the homeless, because they are donated the least often.
