We do have homeless people in Europe/Germany.

Thank you for your explanation. My problems understanding these panels were

• The kids in the panels. TIL, it is possible for kids to be homeless in the US. It’s hard for me to imagine that a society would let there kids be homeless. We got kids who fled from home and do not accept any help, thus being homeless in Germany as well, but these kids are on the run, not in schools or in cars with their mother.
• The idea that a woman having a car and a kid might be homeless is totally alien to me, as well. The only possibility I can think of how this could happen is if she just ran away spontaneously neglecting all help she could get – that does happen, of course, and probably I’m just too naive.

The kids are homeless because their parent is homeless. In Europe, are you guaranteed a home as long as you have children?

It’s actually more likely if you have a car. Cars are a money sink.

The US does not guarantee you a home if you have a child. If countries in Europe do that, that’s awesome, but the US definitely does not.

Sure, there are charities, but there aren’t enough resources to help everybody.
