The United States spends over a billion dollars each year to assist homeless persons to find permanent supportive housing. Federal programs provide funding for specific sub-groups with the idea that providing housing for these groups will end the national problem. Without continued analysis of the social construction that hinders the homeless population, funding will not reach the target destination resulting in misplaced effort. This paper provides an informational and critical analysis of homelessness in the United States and the relationship between the number of homeless persons and multiple other factors. A study of the linear regression concludes that poverty and housing units are the two variables that interpret the fluctuations in the homeless count. Given this information, there is a need for further research in order to mitigate future increases in the homeless population.

This report is concerned with the connection between homelessness its historical framework and the governance of the pervasive ‘victim blaming’ ideologies and the social issues it brings to society. Structural issues create different risk levels among certain populations. (Heinz, 2005, p. 61) The homeless have been regarded historically as objects of empathy and disparagement in the media, political, and the economic domains. (Farrugia, 2011a) These sentiments are tied to how homeless people view ideologies of productivity, personhood, and stability within the culture of Australia. (Heinz, 2005, p. 61) This study inspects how these ideologies are associated with the relationship amongst the capitalist economy, and homeless

The first thing we did was all gather and make a PowerPoint to gather our information, and put the cites we were using for our information. I found the political cartoon and PSA for the group. We figured to do everything on our own then come back later to see where we were. Somewhere ahead and a couple were somewhere behind. Next we had to make a preview of our topic and what question our research related to. We had some problems because some people were gone and some did not do the there work. So I made the preview for our group and presented it to the class. The next day most of us had our worksheets done but one of us did not so we had to present with 3 instead of 4. I though I contributed to the group because I did my work on time.

Chronic homelessness is a person who is, or was diagnosed with one of the following conditions, substance abuse, mental illness, physical disability, and cognitive impairments resulting from brain injury.

The homeless older population is a big growing issue, which I agree with you on that there needs to more services to help. The population is growing due to the lifespan is growing. This is great news or a truly a blessing from God so we can spend more time with our love ones.

In this textual analysis, I’m going to discuss the prevalence of homelessness in the United States. I’ll be using three songs from popular culture that focus on homelessness. Different artists perform these three songs: Avril Lavigne, Bob Dylan, and Nirvana. I’m going to address the values that people who are homeless may have, according to what each artist conveys through their song lyrics. Throughout the lyrics in each song, it seems like the artists are attempting to communicate to the public that homelessness is a serious issue that nobody is immune to. The values that I have gathered are bravery, hope, and perseverance.

Homelessness is a growing problem in our society and has been going on for decades. This can be caused by common addictions like drugs and alcohol, mental or physical abuse, or even age and sexuality can play a role. Although, most common assumption people make about those who are homeless, is that they became that way because of laziness. While in fact, the most common cause of this issue is job loss. The simplest way to help contribute to the solution of this issue is to do small spontaneous acts of kindness and pay it forward. Those that are lucky enough to have a home, need to be more helpful to those who are less fortunate by doing research and looking more into the topic on ways that they can help. There are numerous explanations as to why someone might be homeless and it’s up to the public to find solutions to the causes of the problem to lessen the effects.

We don’t come to realize how lucky we are to be living in a home and having all the things we have now.
