Yeah, this was the most messed up part of the whole article:

> I got back into housing a few weeks after I made my last student loan payment.

I graduated undergrad with $4k in student loans. The fact that there are people becoming homeless due to student loan debt is insane.

That makes it sound like [divorce + medical crisis] would maybe have "reset" their finances, but not kept them in on the street for so long if it hadn't been for the student loan which couldn't be discharged through bankruptcy.
