Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The text states that the lack of affordable housing is the reason for the great majority of the homeless being on the streets. While substance abuse and poor mental health can contribute to homelessness, they are not necessarily the primary reasons. Divorce is not mentioned at all in the text as a contributing factor to homelessness.
