Also historical and/or generational poverty.

I'd file that under trauma. If there was no trauma caused by extreme poverty like; parent was a sexworker; watching a parent lose it all; emotional neglect; physical neglect; history of incarceration; generational drug abuse, it would be more unlikely they would succumb to homelessness. That said, you are right.

Generational poverty is also historically about racism. Now, that's changing but it's changing more because it's just getting harder to get out of poverty than it is because there's less racism...

I do not disagree.
