Resources To Reduce Homelessness In The United States

Improved Essays
Christmas and Thanksgiving are right around the corner, so the time of giving to others is now. In our world there is so much violence and people who live less fortunate then my family and I. Millions of homeless people around the world and even here in the United States sleep on streets and in cardboard boxes with little to eat and the same clothes to wear every day. Also, the violence in the world makes me angry. The terrorist attacks on Paris break my heart and make me angry. Organizations like Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant need to be dealt with and neutralized. If I received unlimited amount of resources I would use the resources to demolish ISIS, feed the starving, and give the homeless homes and clothes. This holiday season with time, money, and people I would develop a plan to defeat ISIS and execute the plan to give the world some peace of mind and bring this organization to justice for the terror and murders …show more content…
Thousands of people in the United States live on the streets, so just imagine how bad homelessness is around the world. When you live on the streets there is a lack of food, so many of these people starve as well. With unlimited resources I would build every single one of them houses to live in and put them to work by making them build their own houses. Several houses need to be built and almost all of them are unemployed, so put them to work and provide them a salary to build the houses for the homeless. Once all of the houses are built they can apply for constructions jobs with experience. Nobody should live on the streets and starve to death. That is why I chose this gift because I cannot imagine how much they must go through on days when the weather is terrible. If a tornado goes through the Midwest, then what will the homeless people do stand outside in it? That should not happen, they should live in homes with food and a

    If I couldn’t spend the $1,000,000 on myself, I would spend the $1,000,000 to help the Wounded Warrior Project because there are so many soldiers out there in hospitals or in trenches that are wounded and may not have the medication or right kind of help they need. Also my grandfather was in the Korean War and lost both his legs from the knees down. I wouldn’t want people to suffer just like him and so many others. Maybe if they had the correct help or even better help they could have kept their limbs. For every US soldier killed, seven are wounded.…

    Although addressing homelessness is still challenging in some regions of Canada, the federal government of Canada has initiated programs to help the homeless in previous years. In 1999, Canada’s government launched the National Homeless Initiative (NHI) with an investment of $753 million for three years to help support communities struggling with homelessness. The NHI’s objectives were to reduce homelessness in canada, facilitate the unsheltered, improve the quality and diversity of resources, and increase awareness and understanding of homelessness.

    These methods include: the influence and push of housing programs, to guarantee that these programs will organize a new and stable home for individuals encountering extreme difficulty with homelessness, being able to recognize and connect with individuals encountering unending homelessness and immediately cause difference in their life for the better, to lower boundaries to the housing programs through group wide reception of “Housing First.” Seeking help from congress and looking for extra assets from Congress to make new units of lasting stable homes in essential in this plan.
