From the Paper:

"Since the 1990s, the statistics concerning helplessness shows that it is becoming a serious problem in the United States. "An estimated 26 million individuals in the United States have experienced some form of homelessness in their lifetime". More people with children are becoming homeless or many children are found homeless due to running away from problems at home. "More than 1 million children run away from home each year. Every 26 seconds, an American child runs away" and many of these children become homeless. Many of the people who are homeless have mental illness, substance abuse, or both. The University of Southern California (USC) realizes that homelessness is a serious problem and steps must be taken to reduce these statistics."
