ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: C
The text addresses three broad factors: (1) shortage of affordable housing, (2) insufficient income, and (3) scarcity of supportive services as societal conditions that contribute to homelessness rather than cause homelessness. Domestic abuse, substance abuse, and serious mental illness are not identified as the broad factor contributing to homelessness.
