Article 25 of the declaration of human rights says that people have the right to shelter.
It's so odd that in the 21st century, we still believe that some people somehow deserve their poverty, because we would rather listen to economical indicators rather than seeing people being homeless.
Countries might be modern and developed to reduce poverty, but there are still societal beliefs that some people should not be helped. I'm happy I don't live in the US, because I would probably be homeless or an addict if I did, and there would be hordes of people claiming it's "survival of the fittest" and that it's fair game, because life involves competition, which is a fallacy of nature.
The nazis actively promoted social darwinism, and the nazis are gone, but sometimes I feel like social darwinism is alive.
