On World Homeless Day, advocates focus on the estimated 100 million people around the globe who live without a roof over their heads, yet are so easily overlooked by passersby.
In the United States alone, the homeless population dropped by 1 percent from 2009 to 2011, to 636,017 living without shelter, according to the National Alliance to Help Homelessness. While the decrease is heartening, the issue remains an epidemic that requires the intervention of both nonprofit and government programs.
