Awakening into the reality that is “the real world” can be rough and turbulent. Adolescents go through significant phases in their journey of figuring out who they are and how they fit into the fabric of everyday life. The first one being the naive phase; this is where we believe we know everything there is to know.

When thinking about homelessness, the elderly people issue doesn’t immediately come to our mind. Homeless elders, although increasing in numbers, continue to be a forgotten population. The number of elderly adults who have become homeless has increased around the county. An example of this increase has occurred in Massachusetts, where from 1999 to 2002, the number of people over 55 using shelters increased by 60% (HEARTH, 2007). The increased homelessness among elderly persons is largely the…

Throughout the film Linda’s positive attitude influences Willy, Biff, and Happy. Willy’s…

Volunteering at a homeless shelter would be a great way to help out the community because it provides a temporary…

Lots of us take a bed, a soft blanket, a warm house for granted. This is something homeless people don't have, but a great program in Fremont, Nebraska has provided these services for them. Care-Corps provides: housing, life skills program, food, hygiene products, medicine, prevention program,…

Many young people in America want to achieve a higher education, but often are unable to because they lack the assistance and support needed. Oftentimes, homeless youth aren’t aware they qualify for a higher education as they access the government resources. Without this knowledge, obtaining a higher education must seem far out of reach.
