Substance abuse as a whole accounts for the majority of homelessness.

It’s definitely a huge culprit. But a lot have or had untreated mental illness along with it. And , besides , substance abuse and alcoholism is a disease and just another form of mental illness where one’s brain is effected. Which came first ? The mental illness or the addiction? Did they coincide? There’s not an easy solution no matter what side of the fence you’re on.
