<p>Claudia Larrain's "The Forgotten Ones" provides the latest research findings and observations of the homelessness crisis around the world. She summarizes the history of how many individuals ended up living in squalor. Many are mentally ill, who were thrown out of mental asylums due to overcrowding and unethical treatments. However, a contingency plan was never put in place to deal with serious mental illnesses and they ended up living on the streets. Another large population of homeless is the Vietnam Veterans, who's situation is improving, however, there are many more homeless in all of our cities since it became a problem in the 20th century. Now with the COVID-19 epidemic, people are falling into poverty and ultimately homelessness. The problem is getting worse. Larrain studied the efficacy of many approaches to solve homelessness and recommends methods that will help homeless individuals find work and re-enter society as functional, useful and proud people. </p>
