Abstract—In most cases of homelessness, the cause is lack of economic capital as well as symbolic capital. There are three types of symbolic capital: cultural (social assets), human (personal attributes) and social capital (networking). This research paper attempts to analyze what role each of these capital plays and what is most effective in helping homeless people improve their situations.
Index Terms—Homeless, economic capital, social capital, human capital, cultural capital.
