We start our story with a very fortunate, yet very homeless couple. They have been both blessed with their dream jobs but lack a space to call their own! The wife, Luna Hazelwoode, a theoretical astrophysicist has finally made her way through grad school on a full ride scholarship and has gotten a job at Drake University for her research and newly achieved pHd. The husband, Ezekiel Hazelwoode, has been working around the country with his welding expertise after graduating from Mid State University.

They explore their childish side they didn’t experience in their younger years as they focused on their careers. Ezekiel installs a playground set on their fifteenth wedding anniversary and together they build a treehouse for their twentieth. After their last major purchase of a home they decide to scale down their careers to something they enjoy. Luna begins work at a hardware store and provides graphic designing services on the side while Ezekiel is hired as a manager in a local store for his project managing expertise. Together they rebuild and strengthen their relationship and enjoy the comforts of owning a permanent home. After settling down and recharging from their draining, young-adult lives, they even begin to foster animals again. This time they foster dogs and cats, providing the animals their own home temporarily to allow the injured and scared to heal as they did. From sun up to sun down the animals, Ezekiel, and Luna go through their lives happily and with a smile that only having a permanent place to go could

Logan chimed in about her grandiose treehouse, and then they looked to Leo. She had nothing to say, she never had anything to say, but they looked at her with such trivial excitement! It was more than she could bare, caring about the two. But, it was too late now, she adored them, so she closed her eyes and waited for a memory to grant her something to say. Once her mind was at ease, a dollhouse came into view. It was heartfelt and handmade by her father; he presented it to her with the biggest, proudest grin on his cheeky

The arrangement would be to help these individuals out. With GCU expanding each year since it turned into a For-Profit institution and removing homes from these individuals the slightest they can do is bail the general population out of their homelessness. Stated on Sun Topia “There are only 14 short lived free safe houses for people who require a place to remain.” One solution would be to build an off campus shelter that is sponsored by the great people of GCU. In this shelter the school can offer the homeless two meals a day, shelter, hygiene essentials, and a clean bed they can sleep in. this shelter would not be a permanent home but a place that a person can use to bounce back onto their feet and get a job and find a permanent place to
This article takes a critical look at the negative effects on children’s who are living with relatives or friends as a result of their family not being able to financially afford housing. The federal definition of homelessness that all U.S. public schools use includes children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. The law recognizes that living doubled-up is a hardship and an inherent barrier to academic success, and that’s why students living doubled-up are eligible for homeless services under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (Dill, 2015). Since, homelessness generally follows a traumatic event such as divorce, foreclosure, incarceration or job loss, children are more susceptible to present behaviors
All over the homestead, tens of thousands of inactive and jobless young people that have college experience and or work history are having troubles finding affordable housing in the middle of this recession. This has made workers between 18 and 24 the group with the greatest unemployment rate of all adults. The young adults who are able to move back home with their parents are called the “boomerang set,” and considered the lucky ones. For some that is not an option. Their families are also being hit hard by the economy. Without an anchored home address there is a transit group that must resort to couch surfing or are forced to find private locations to sleep and live so they can stay out of the public eye. The homeless young people stay under the radar of the public because many people in the public, who are not forced to live as these transit groups do, can be very judgmental towards the young homeless adults and for most, the stigma is too much for them to handle. Poverty gurus say the homeless young adult’s population is growing largely due to the increase in unemployment rate and that a lot more graduating high school
First, an applicant must begin with the drafting and processing of an extensive application. Furthermore, the application is to include a generic information form, health evaluation, psych evaluation, criminal and credit background history, and lastly a prefilled resume format form. Moreover, we should aim to help the homeless reinstate themselves back into society. We do not want to enable anyone to take advantage of this housing opportunity. But to utilize it to gain a path towards a better quality of living.
Homelessness affects upwards of 3.5 million Americans annually and has been a historical problem since the 1700’s (Cronley, 2010). People who are homeless do not always choose the situation they find themselves in, but to be more precise, are the victims of a social system that neglects to help them with they first become at-risk of becoming homeless (Edison-Brown). According to the Joint Studies for Housing Studies (2017), almost thirty-nine million American households are living in homes that they have difficulty meeting the required funds to pay for monthly. To illustrate, a person who has a rental home, on average, needs to earn $21.21 per hour to afford a two-bedroom home in the United States (Family Promise, 2016). The poverty line for a family of four is at $24,300, and for someone to achieve that line, they need to be earning at least $11.70 per hour
Experiencing further unstable environments, these children are forced to move from one foster home to another. They rarely develop meaningful relationships and constantly endure lack of care and protection by adults. Sabreen, another gifted student, was able to excel in school despite her unstable environments. She, too, became a ward of the county battling to find a stable home, constantly being placed in unstable environments, environments that do not encourage any achievement. When her situation becomes untenable, she goes AWOL, like Olivia, refusing to return to county supervision. Corwin masterfully frames the problem that wards, like Olivia and Sabreen, face when they feel that going back into the system is not an option. The additional struggles can be seen through Olivia and Sabreen accepting jobs with long hours in order to make enough to pay their bills. The responsibility on taking care of themselves financially detracts from their studies, which quickly can become a vicious, never-ending cycle.

Since Paul and I had centered our hastily migration to Fort McMurray around our need to move our joint bank account from the red into the black we had not planned the following: where we would live; where I would work; and how long we would stay. Our daily perusals of the properties for rent in the classifieds of the Fort McMurray Today newspaper confirmed that we were unable to afford the rent being asked for a house, a mobile, a townhome or even a condo. We would have to rent a room in someone’s house and potentially be forced to pay a bit extra because we were a couple. Paul and I were unsuccessful in obtaining a room rental due to the influx of the transient people looking to earn a substantial paycheck from working as many hours as
