deteriorating as time passes by along with gun violence almost every night. These are the places where you see more homeless shelters and others begging for food and money. These are the people that suffer on the streets in the cold every night while we scroll through Facebook on our comfy couch. According to NJ.com, Hudson County was the home of “829 homeless persons” in 2016, the third largest homeless population in the state of New Jersey. While we enjoy the comfort of our home, these unfortunate people

that there were people who were homeless and struggled just to get one meal each day, I didn’t comprehend the sheer amount of people, just in St. Louis alone, who fell into that category. When I was about 7 or 8 though, a group of us from our church visited a homeless shelter to bring food. Our goal was to help out in any way we could as part of a community service day we had established. Because of the culture shock I experienced upon arriving, visiting that homeless shelter for the first time changed

shelters that tend to the homeless. With the San Gabriel Valley services being so distant and clustered, it was difficult to assess the overall feel of the homeless services. That is, it was difficult to find any homeless shelters even with the use of a handheld GPS and map, signifying that access to the homeless services is not as simple as it sounds.

In the past couple of years, the number of homeless individuals have been on the rise in Nevada. In this mass increase, the population mostly consists of homeless individuals under the age of eighteen. These minors are mostly unaccompanied, with no adults to teach them right or wrong.

Today, the homeless can be anyone: children or women escaping an abusive relationship or those who just cannot afford to pay for housing. While some homeless people maintain employment of some sort, long term homelessness is usually a function of the inverse; either severely under-employed or no income stream at all with which to

My problem revolves around homeless veterans and how they are at a higher risk for suicide than those who are not homeless.
