Wendy Koch from US today stated,” The number of homeless people in rural and suburban shelters jumped sharply: 32% of all people in shelters compared with 23% in 2007” (2009). She also pointed out that after the recession began, the problem of homelessness has migrated to rural and suburban areas.
Homeless is taking place throughout the world. That is an issue because some people still end back on the street or never had the opportunity to get off the street. Some inviduals may still be on the street and never go the opportunity to get off the street. Each inviduals have their own story of how they became homeless. Some inviduals may have ended up homeless due to unemployment, house caught on fire, was staying with a family member who later passed away, never had money save in case of a emergency and the list goes on. The issue that relate to housing for the homeless is that it is not enough space for everyone. The programs that is available tend to be overcrowded due to so many people being homeless with nowhere to go. Another issue with housing for the homeless is the environment in some programs. The environment can be harmful and unhealthy to an inviduals and especially a homeless child. When a child is homeless, that has a effect on them growing up as far as their mentality and their skills and ability of learning.

First and foremost, how do we defined a homeless person? According to National Health Care for the Homeless Council, homeless is defined as “an individual who lacks housing, including an individual whose primary residence during the night is a supervised public or private facility that provides temporary living accommodations, and an individual who is a resident in a transitional housing” (“definition of homelessness,” n.d.). It is important to recognize that homelessness is worldwide and social problem because it is directly affected by large social forces that affects individual’s social life. In a research made by Coalition for the homeless says that in December 2015, there were 60,096 homeless people in New York city, including 14,553 homeless families with 23, 885 homeless children. Moreover, this becomes a social problem, due in large part to structural inequality and it affects a wide variety of people that can range from those people experiencing eviction, unemployment, family relationship breakdown, domestic violence, health crises, poverty, mental illness and substance abuse. These reasons can be the precipitating factor in the onset of homelessness.
On the other hand, nearly all organisms can exist without humans. There are some exceptions to this, such as endangered species or pets but, in general, most wildlife does not need human presence in order to survive. This is a fact of life and is accepted as an ecological truth. Accepting and understanding our equality with and interdependence on the Earth’s community of life is the first step in adopting the attitude of respect for nature.
To begin, the first reason to support that the needs of people are not more important than the needs the planet and animals is, that plants and animals give oxygen, food, and other resources that humans need to survive. If people didn’t have plants and animals they would be dead, while plants and animals provide the resources for each other that are necessary for their survival. In the text, “Nature is what We see-” it states, “Nature is what we see...Nature is what we hear… Nature is what we know...So impotent our wisdom is to her sincerity.”
The land that so many people call the land of opportunity and prosperity still has its downfall, and that is homelessness. According to The Atlantic website, half a million people go to bed homeless every night and about 25% of those people are children. This number has not gone down lately either. From 2016 to 2017, homelessness in the state of Minnesota has risen 4.5 percent according to HUD, and it is our time to do something to change that. This is not a problem that is happening thousands of miles overseas, homelessness is occurring 30 minutes away from us in St. Paul and Minneapolis, and even here, in Hastings. It is our time to take a stand against homelessness.
The housing crisis that has cast an overbearing shadow within our elderly communities across the United States is by far one of the worst human service issues I have witnessed. Those within the elderly community have somehow become the largest population of people that fill up our homeless shelters, owners of our foreclosed homes, and unfortunately have the least amount of affordable housing developments provided for them to live.
M The needs of people are not more important than the needs of animals and the planet.
Here is a brief listing of what we have to offer. The primary intention and inspiration of Rogue Dwellings is to shelter the people through empowerment. We can help facilitate an understanding of what it is to live on the ground around the fire, less through the internet and more with the elements. Get in touch with the ground, get in touch with us, we have ongoing workshops for tipi living and making. We also make tipis and other tents, like this seven sided tensile tent, which houses our treadle sewing
How much waste is being produced daily in our cities is unnecessary and how many people are homeless is outrageous. There are many ways all of the people in our cities can help but it would be easier if your committee starts the “wave” so to speak. Firstly we need to get rid of abandoned or closed houses.In addition we need to save all good foods that are good but are getting wasted.Last but not least we need to make sure this does not keep happening. I agree with the idea of taking a strong stand against homelessness with help from the government or private organizations.“Homeless people in our cities should be given access to services, such as regular food donations, public restrooms, and camping facilities, because it would improve life
In the technologically advanced world of the Twenty-First Century, where computer technology has eradicated borders in society, creating unique communication opportunities and business ventures worldwide without leaving home is phenomenal. The significance of the advances in technology is the fact that homelessness is not just a problem in the United States, it has global implications. The people that die and are displaced as a result of homelessness is a major challenge to social justice. Through the tenets of the Critical Race Theory, it’s been statistically qualified and quantified that minority groups are frequently targeted and suffer from socioeconomic neglect, resulting in homelessness. The Lack of equal access to supportive
Secondly, people, mostly women and children who are abused and don't have anywhere to go, more often than not wind up in the street.After they flee from their abuser, there is nobody to support them financially. They are compelled to watch over their kids and themselves with no money. These adults and children must be put into shelters so they can begin their lives over again.
Whalley is located in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. This community, around King George SkyTrain station, is a densely populated area. In this community, there are a large number of homeless individuals. In homeless population, mental illness commonly present in the forms of schizophrenia, depression, personality disorders, substance abuse, and other affective disorders. According to Metro Vancouver Homeless Count, there are “400 homeless people in Surrey, representing 15% of the region's 2650 homeless” (City of Surrey, n.d, “2014”). This problem has been present for many years and there are still people suffering from the basic lack of proper housing. Moreover, it is ought to be noted that “the population is virtually unchanged since the last count … in 2008” (City of Surrey, n.d, “2014”). The city of surrey, due to increased federal funding has been able to funnel resources and funding to accelerate actions related to this problem in mental health. As the result, city of Surrey has been able to work with B.C housing to build more affordable homes for homeless individuals and “ establishing the homeless and housing fund” (City of Surrey, n.d, “2014”). These programs will help individuals to find affordable housing to call home, but the core problem related to mental health illnesses is still a vibrant problem among homeless individuals. For my Photo Voice project, I decided to focus on homeless problem in this community in a hope of raising awareness about the mental
Those who rent from private landlords do not only tend to, on average, pay almost double the rent of a person living within social housing but also are twice as likely to live in a residence the Government would class as a “non-decent home”, a residence in disrepair and one that does not meet health and safety standards (Jonathan Owen, 2014). The undisputable growth of private renting sector is not limited to England but is also noticeable in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In wales the private rental sector represents 14% of total housing, the private rental sector in Scotland has doubled over the last ten years as more than three hundred thousand properties have been sold and in Northern Ireland private landlords own more properties than councils and housing associations combined according to national figures provided in 214 (Jonathan Owen, 2014).
