Final Answer : A,D, Explanation :  A history of mental illness and being a single mother are both factors that can contribute to an increased risk of homelessness. Living in an urban area, caring for aging parents, and working two part-time jobs may also be risk factors, but they are not as strongly associated with homelessness as the first two factors mentioned.
