Dangers of Being Homeless?

There are many dangers of being homeless. The primary concerns are food and shelter. Homeless people often face starvation when unable to purchase food. If they cannot find shelter with a charity, friend, or family, they are at risk for exposure in bad weather, especially hypothermia in winter. They also are at increased risk to become victims of violence. Homelessness is a serious issue, and those at risk may be eligible for programs which provide food and shelter.
