Moving into an RV may seem like a way to save money, but it can come with unexpected costs and trap families in a cycle of debt.

Our homelessness numbers are vastly under counted. They guess the amount by going outside and counting the number of people they can see. A better way to judge this would be by number of people with no active address. (I’m sure it’s not that simple and some safe guards would need to be put in place. But we know the number is magnitudes greater than the publicly stated amount.) We say it 800k individuals are homeless but id bet if we actually tried to find every known American to see if they have a permanent address it’s two or three million people under counted.
I wouldnt be surprised if they count homeless figures the same way the count jobless numbers: by only counting the people who dont have it but are actively looking. So once people give up looking and stop utilizing services to help connect them then they are no longer in the figures
They are way lazier than that. Starting to wonder if the government not knowing where ~2% to ~3% of its population is actually might be a good thing. Lol
its worse than that. folks are actively looking but no longer filling out the forms to tell them they are looking.
This is gonna be the hardest part. Some people don’t pay taxes, nor own a TV, can’t afford crushing medical costs, and don’t have a car parked in front of their tent. They simply don’t exist.
And an American ID card - like the gov ID and separate health card I have - would still be a non-starter for them if the gov paid for it. They simply get nothing but trouble from it.
What subset of people living that lifestyle are classed as homeless? What’s one-third of “no idea”?
Right! I think our government is the only one that actively pushes its own people to drop off the grid.
I’m so homeless that the US Census didn’t even contact me in 2020 😆
But they still want you to pay taxes lol.
