Its because Social Services treat the homeless very bad. I have witnessed it with a friend of mine who needed help. The social workers are trained to help social problems and prevent them, but they are creating them. The high prices and overcrowding is another reason. With little church attendance, church pantries are not even stocked as much. Illinois is one of the worst states to help those in need. Remember, Medicaid owes almost 2 billion dollars to doctors, clinics, and PATIENTS. Even medicaid will not pay for the ones who receive it. I have proof of that. Obama isn't helping either. His champaign and photo ops are too important to help his own. Illinois is in a state of crisis and no one gives a hoot until people decide to do something and then people ask naive questions wondering why there are more people in need. Look no further than your politians, your neighbors, and your local social services.
