Homeless people's in India

A homeless person is defined into three categories.

In general it is said about an individual who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence; and an individual who has a primary nighttime residence that is

a publicly supervised or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations (including welfare hotels, congregate shelters, and transitional housing for the mentally ill);
an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized; or
a public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.

With a population of well over 1 billion people, India is the second most populous nation in the world. According to UN-HABITAT, India is home to 63% of all slum dwellers in South Asia. This amounts to 170 million people, 17% of the world’s slum dwellers. India's per capita income, although rising, rank's it 124th in the world. This low per capita income is one factor that marks the sharp divide between India's wealthiest and poorest citizens. Approximately 35 percent of India's 260 million people (a group almost equal to the entire population of the United States) still earns $1 or less a day.

Structural problem:

Lack of affordable housing
Changes in the industrial economy leading to unemployment
Inadequate income supports
the De-institutionalization of patients with mental health problems
and the erosion of family and social support. Factors that increase an individual's vulnerability
Physical or mental illness
Disability
Substance abuse
Domestic violence
Job loss
