Homeless Census Reflection Journal I participated in the Homeless Census on Wednesday, January 27, 2016, which took place at a homeless shelter called the Mission at Kern County. I was assigned to interview homeless people at the mission. I interviewed eight people, and all of them were males between the ages of 37 to 64. Most of the people that I interviewed were homeless for several years (highest 22 years). Approximately half of them were born in the Bakersfield area. Also, most of them were…

What qualifies and disqualifies you as a witness • What qualifies me as a witness is that I have personally suffered being unable to rent or own housing the neighborhood of my choice. I have witnessed people being displaced from their communities because they could not afford to live there anymore. • What disqualifies me as a witness is the fact that I have not been at this advocacy for a short time. B: What is the problem that you are addressing? • The lack of safe, decent, accessible, and…

Helen Keller said, “No one has ever become poor by giving.” Helen Keller meant that there is no limit on how much you donate to people. We need to raise money to donate to the homeless.

How would you define the scale of the problem of homelessness among families in your area? and do you think that this area is representative of what is happening across England? I still recall the problem of homelessness back in the 80s I compared to that it is relatively small scale especially in big cities such as Bristol and especially London where there are a lot of Street Homeless. the problem now in my personal view it's changed from the very low percentage of Street Homeless to…

The Housing First Model is Chicago’s strategy that fast-tracks homeless individuals into permeant housing regardless of their conditions and qualifications. According to Chernega and George, there…

1495-1498. "Mona Lisa" was made in about the time section of 1503-1506. In 1506 he moved back to Milan for 7 years then he moved to Rome for 3 more. In 1516 he moved from Italy for good, and went to France due to a very generous offer from French Ruler Francis 1. When he died he was buried at a church called "Saint-Florentin". He died at the age of 67. When I first saw the painting of Mona Lisa I liked it from the get go. I actually just heard that there was a painting that looks just like Mona…
