A '''homeless''' person is someone without their own housing, living catch-as-catch can, sometimes outside. The causes are many: incompetence, alcoholism, poor mental health, or economic recession. After 1960 many poor farms and mental hospitals that once housed the homeless have been shut down, and the weakness of family ties means their relatives are alienated and do not help. They get income by begging, stealing, and working at casual labor jobs for a day or two. Some also work consistent jobs in retail or food service.<ref>https://www.rt.com/usa/409230-silicon-valley-working-homeless/</ref> Money is not safe for they suffer heavily from robbery and this is due to past financial mistakes: many homeless do not have access to regular bank services and rely on cash checking and prepaid debit cards. <ref>https://www.cnbc.com/id/100661088</ref>
