deinstitutionalization, mental illness, changes in the family structure, economics, violence, and personal crisis. Homelessness is not a local problem; it is a national (and international) public health crisis. Most statistics show, in fact, that there are about 8-10,000 individuals living in Seattle (King County) without shelter each and every night. This may, in fact, be a low estimate, since it is based on one night only, and does not county every area of the County (Heim, 2009). Within the Greater Seattle

A commonly problem faced by the government, business owners and homeowners alike is the homelessness of low-income families, disabled people and seniors that inhabit public housing. These housing projects provide affordable housing through federal funds. The people who instituted it visions and intensions have evolved. Public housing started out very small, buildings only a couple stories tall. They would be paid for through rent paid for by tenants and bonds. The program utilized high-rise buildings

When all luxuries are taken away and have become unaffordable, these tent cities are the only places people can call home. In the article, “Camping for Their Lives,” written by Scott Bransford, it talks about the conditions that people without homes are forced to live in. Shelters for the homeless have recently become overcrowded and unmanageable, leaving most on the streets. The only other option from the streets are what they call tent cities or squatter villages.

The problem I am addressing in this paper is, A lack of safe, decent, accessible, and affordable rental housing in communities where people chose to live. For the last twenty years, rental housing available to low income people have been demolished, not enough replacement units are being built as lower than market rates for the poor. For the last twenty years, rental housing available to low income people in urban communities around the country are steadily being demolished to make room for coffee

Eliminating Welfare “Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence (Ronald Reagan).” The Government stands tall as the “big brother” and takes the responsibility of holding the United States up. The question is, is it too much to bear? The United States following the Dust Bowl was a disaster, and this was the first time in history many looked to the government for assistance in holding the country up. What began nearly 100 years ago never ended and

Homeless. Who are they? Adults, males, minority groups, elderly, and the disabled are the most reported and common people to be homeless. Nearly 78 percent of all sheltered homeless persons are adults. Nearly, 62 percent are males and/or a minority group. No matter what the characteristics, any person can be homeless. Homelessness is becoming less of an issue in the United States and has decreased 2.3 percent in general, but still has a tight grip on the United States. To keep decreasing homelessness

housing projects for blacks and low income, have since occurred but segregation persist. Although, many housing project continue to exist of called public housing developments of efforts in community planning have developed other models such as: section 8 housing, scatter-site housing, and more recently mixed-income housing. These attempts mainly focused on deconcentrating areas of high-poverty and have all resulted in failure of

America has numbers of homeless people living without a home or starving from hunger. The solution to this problem would be the United States providing homeless people with permanent, affordable housing, and wraparound services. Permanent supportive housing will resolve this issue for our country. Shelters can be beneficial

In 2014 over half a million people were homeless. The homeless population is growing rapidly in America. One of the many ways we can help the homeless would be by serving them. Hope Faith Ministries put into perspective that my needs are nothing compared to those that do not have anywhere to live. Walking in on Thanksgiving night my feelings were mixed about being there. The first feeling I felt was being mad because I thought Thanksgiving night should have been spent at home. The second feeling

Child Labor: Most social reformers of this tried to pass laws that prevented children from working. By 1900’s the number of working children was cut in half. The issue was successfully put to rest by a major contributor, Mary Harris Jones. As far as the public eye goes this problem is not an issue in the US anymore. Tenement Housing: The city was forced to intervene on crowding more than one family in a small space because of a number of logistical errors, water, transportation. and diseases by
