Description Homelessness is a socially constructed problem. We as a society do not take the time to truly listen to the concerns of those who are still impact us in our day to day lives. In this current study, the use of qualitative data was analyzed to determine and understand pathways to homelessness. The purpose is to develop an understanding of why people may become chronically homeless. People who are in a constant cycle of homelessness exhibit constants that may cause them to end up homeless time and time again. Through the process of this research, I gained an insight into their lives and an understanding of why they may end up in this cycle of homelessness. With further knowledge about the homeless and the issues they deal with, agencies that provide for this population can better shape their programs to fit the needs of this population.
