Analysis: The Homeless Organizations

Good evening,
There is a charity event on October 20 for a local homeless shelter called “The Homeless Organization”. The shelter will be hosting the first screening of an award-winning film "One Penny" from StonePark Productions in Washington D.C. It is Akron’s first screening of the film, and the producer and I (Akron local and film distributor) would like for the area to know more about the screening. Not only is the event unique and participating in the city’s art culture and raising awareness about homeless youth, but half of the proceeds from the event will be given to the homeless shelter.

Is there any way that The Devil’s Strip could feature our event? I’d be happy to provide more information!

Thank you for your time!

-Nettie August

Overall, it is shown that once people become homeless it is nearly impossible for them to return to their previous lives. From a social lens, adopting financial aid will change the way that all groups of society are affected by homelessness.…

    For many years, society has looked down upon the homeless because of their social status. People have been given the notion that the homeless are in the situation that they’re in because of many taboos that society looks down upon like alcohol, drugs, and gambling.
