When something like this happens, things can spin out of control rapidly. Even if it happened in his 60s, he’d be facing age discrimination along with the other barriers to employment that go along with being homeless.
Also, some positions in construction are viable for someone in their late 70s, but the older we get the more prone to grave injuries. My great aunt was cleaning rooms in a hotel well into her 80s until she broke her hip.
It’s says he recently started sleeping at the park, not recently became homeless. It could have happened to him at any point in his life, based on this story.
My friend’s dad fell off a ladder and nearly broke his back when we was in his close to 60, if not older. He luckily had family and was about to retire anyway, but imagine if he were a single construction worker in his 60s with no 401k.

It doesn’t specify when he broke his back.

It doesnt tell us when he became homeless at all, he could have been homeless for 20 years
