homelessness in America," this 1999 study reports that
"that most people who become homeless have suffered
severe hardships - including physical and sexual abuse,
childhood trauma, poverty, a poor education, disability
and disease - but are successful in escaping
homelessness when they get help from federal and other
programs."

has most influenced events in the preceding year." At this site,
created to mark the close of the century, users can browse and read
the full text of each year's story, from 1927 to 1997.
