Motivating The Homeless

A large group of people without homes have set up a camp near my home. Some my neighbors and others in my community want Police and the Government to send them on their way. Where is on their way exactly? They have nowhere to go or call home. There is a problem because some people along with me want to help and support their stay, while others are fighting against us and them.

One way of helping the homeless is by volunteering at your local homeless shelter. Volunteering is a very beneficial way of helping the homeless. “The most productive way to get started helping the homeless is to join forces with a well-established operation.” (“4 Ways You Can Help the Homeless in Your Community”) As said in the quote, join forces with a well-established operation. When you volunteer at your local homeless shelter you are not only helping your community out, but you are also helping the homeless in and around that area. “Volunteer your hobbies - Every one of us has something we can give the homeless. Wherever our interests may lie -- cooking, repairing, gardening, and photography -- we can use

I see myself, and want others to see me, as a compassionate individual. During high school, I tutored incoming freshmen in history and biology. I was once in their shoes, so I knew how important it was to have someone to help me out with what I was struggling with. In my junior and senior years of high school, I volunteered with the Bloodcenter of Wisconsin and the Red Cross, assisting donors when they felt uncomfortable, and donating blood myself. I also knitted scarves for the homeless with my church. Doing things for others comforts me because I know it makes them breathe a little easier. When I was a senior in high school, I talked a close friend out of committing suicide. I have never been homeless, but I have been a struggling

I have decided to create a social program that identifies the social problem of Homelessness. The new human services, social program will target helping homeless individuals and families to get off the streets. In order to have a successful program I have to come up with an outline and cover all of the basics. This program will have many different resources available to homeless or about to be homeless individuals and families. There are so many homeless people out there and her in the state of Florida there are not many places for homeless people to turn to for comfort and safety. So I am truly excited to be creating this new program that will help many people to go forward and live wonderful and successful lives, no matter what they have been through. Throughout this paper I will be discussing some of the things that are needed in order to start an organization. This paper will serve as an outline or an information source on how to create a social program as well as the social program that I am creating.

A Homeless Task Force was created by the Mayor of Sidney, Ohio. He saw that there were homeless citizens who were suffering in the cold. He created a Task Force in order to start programming and community services for these individuals.

The South Norfolk District Council Cabinet Meeting was held on 7 December 2015. In the meeting, they discussed the homeless strategy deeply and conclued that they approved the Greater Norwich Homeless Strategy 2015-20 and supported the Development of the Homelessness Strategy Action Plan as a working document to deliver the Strategy.

I totally agree with your concern and passion for the homeless population. It is a tremendous and serious issue that needs to be addressed and more people need to understand that somethings has to been done to help make a better living outcome for these individuals. During my research for the paper my passion is the same to help find a answer to aid in this homeless population. There are many different reasons and causes for homelessness among women, women/children, the youth, men, men/children and families. Therefore, to get a better understanding and help society to "wake up" and realize more services must be developed and in place to meet the need.

There are many avenues one could choose when looking for a way to give back to the community. I decided to focus on giving back to the homeless population. For one week, a group of church members, and myself went to the state of California to serve the homeless population in Los Angeles, and San Francisco in more ways than one. We started the journey in downtown L.A.. That first morning we were given beaten-up clothing, and sent out the door of the hotel with no breakfast or money. In partners we headed toward skid row to seek out a corner for pan-handling before meeting at The Mission for lunch. Skid row is an area of L.A. that most do not venture into. The streets are filled to capacity with many different people that all have one thing in common, homelessness. The filth is outrageous, and the smell of different bodily fluids is unbearable. There are no smiles, or warm feelings; it is survival of the fittest. The experience opened everyone’s eyes to the pain, and unseen struggles of homelessness. We were better equipped to help the people we would be meeting as the trip continued. At the end of the day, the money collected as a group was donated to The Mission.

I agree with you ,barrier always interfere the people health. As a nurses We need to educate each other to be culturally competent to address the medical needs of poor people, and also socially and politically competent to address the social context that keeps poor people poor from one generation to the next. Educate the poor people they are less likely to have adequate knowledge about threats to your health and to the health of family member. They are less likely to receive medical care from providers who are sensitive to your needs, who understand your living conditions, and who comprehend your personal and cultural perspectives on health and illness. It is our responsibility as nurses to be our patients advocate. Educate to homeless populations

Howell (April 23, 2014) thinks Mayor Gregor Robertson’s promise to end “street homeless” by 2015 appears to be failing. Street homeless almost double from last year to 538 people. Culbert ( June 7th , 2015) wrote on Vancouver sun about the homeless number in Vancouver dropping slightly. The number in homeless people dropped to 488 from last year’s 536, those results are still not what Mayor Gregor Robertson hoped for. The people that have been homeless for many years have found shelters, but today, majority of homeless people are youth. The city and its partners invested in 615 new room, 458 of them are specifically for homeless people. Lupick ( July 7th,2015) have noticed a small drop in homeless people, from 536 in 2014 to 488 in 2015. The

Another way of assisting the homeless is by publishing shelter information. “Publish shelter information - Despite all of our efforts to spread the word about shelters, it is surprising how many people are unaware of their own local shelters. Contact your local newspapers, church or synagogue bulletins, or civic group's newsletters about the possibility of running a weekly or monthly listing of area services available to the homeless. This could include each organization's particular needs for volunteers, food, and other donations.” ("35 Ways to Help the Homeless” Number 22). Publishing shelter information is a very helpful way. There is a lot

The homeless men, women and children we serve are food insecure. We will provide proper nutrition to hundreds of people each day which improves basic health. One addicted young women came to us fleeing an abusive relationship. She had been on the streets for weeks and had not eaten in 2 days.

Homelessness is a major problem in the United States, and none of the candidates are willing to acknowledge the problem. It could get the candidate an opportunity to gain a lot of voters who are strong advocates for this problem, a few candidates have talked about the distribution of wealth and the need to grow the middle class, but the progress on lowering the poverty level, and the amount of homeless on the streets have been little to non-existent

There are over 3.5 million homeless people in the United States alone (National Student Campaign against Hunger and Homelessness). Within this amount of people there are challenges beyond not having a home that most citizens with a home do not face that include thinking about appearance, quality and source of food, living space, and source of money. These are just a few things that non-homeless may overlook when thinking about the challenges of homelessness. The way that we as a nation perceive others around us comes into play here, because intentionally or not, homeless people are often judged based on their situation, rather than who they are. Does a communication barrier exist between the homeless and non-homeless? If so, what can be

In my life I have helped a lot of homeless people I see on the street by giving them money and foods. And I thought that I have given them possibly everything they could ever ask for. Suddenly, that thought becomes completely shattered when I read a Facebook status on my sister’s timeline, which is more like a thank you letter to the people who had visited and gone to the homeless shelter that is full of parentless children. That letter was created by a group called “The Same Mind,” and they’re currently working in my country. My sisters are considered the members of that group, but their contribution is nothing compared to other members.
