These persons were adversely affected when they had to seek assistance due to a lack of housing, employment, utilities, transportation and food. They were put in a position where they had to ask for assistance when in more prosperous times many were able to meet their own needs and those of their families. Because of the lack of employment and transportation, many things that they took for granted became out of their reach. Many became homeless living from couch to couch or in their cars.
