According to this article, at least 5,000 people in Puerto Rico are homeless after the recent earthquake. The island is still dealing with the long term effects of Hurricane Maria, then got hit with a 6.4 magnitude earthquake.
While people here in the U.S. tend to think people are homeless primarily from bad decisions, addiction, alcoholism, and mental illness, in much of the world, natural disasters and war force huge numbers of people into homelessness. Even in a U.S. territory, this happens.
