Poverty and homelessness 
Discussion 1
Effect of poverty and homelessness on well-being and health
It is needless to say that homelessness along with poverty has direct effect on health and well-being of an individual. People who are homeless have highest rate of illness as well as dying on average 12 years and it is quite soon than the population in the United States. In other words without a home can be termed as one of the most dangerous health condition. Furthermore, both of these factors also have adverse impact on psychological, cognitive, physical development and psychosocial development in youth and children. 
Persistent poverty and crisis
There are some of the differences between crisis and persistent poverty. Firstly, persistent poverty can be defined as 20% or more in terms of the population of a country that is living below the established poverty level for more than 30 years. In this situation lives are generally marked by struggle and also hardship. On the contrary, crisis causes the average income of a country to decline, growing income inequality results. Like persistent poverty crisis is not for a long period of time but it is for short period of time. 
The extent of problem of individuals with mental illness 
Prolonged symptoms concerning mental illness might have some of the most devastating consequences. The extent of problem of people with mental illness is on the higher side as they experience withdrawal from friends and the related activities and they also experience low energy, a lot of tiredness or even issues with sleeping.
