No-kill shelter

health care has been decreasing. At the State level, California has faced significant funding shortfalls; forcing deep budget cuts in these critical support services (Sacramento Steps Forward).

Most of them said that they live near resources that are helpful to them. For example, one said that they like to hang around…

Homelessness has been a long standing issue in the modern day world. Many ideas and different types of programs put in place by governments have helped diminish this problem. These programs have opened a larger question of homelessness, similar to, “In our society, what are the main causes for homelessness?”. A certain program was put in place, recently, and was called ‘Homeless Hotspots’. The marketing agency, BBH Labs, came up with this idea, and used it in the Southern United States,…

able to listen to a few of the other students ' reports and what kinds of places they volunteered at. Several of the students did other projects that did involve the homeless, where they were able to work with those who actually lived in homeless shelters.

A homeless shelter is what…

I am walking down the street and you see a person in ragged clothes, you can tell they are homeless and come up and ask you for money. You tell them no and continue walking down the street.

that lead to homelessness. You see homeless people on the streets begging because they are unemployed and hungry. Since they are unemployed they are unable to provide for themselves. In most cases, they probably can’t even afford food. Although, the shelters and food pantries…

Have you ever driven past a homeless person and thought to yourself, where in life did this person go wrong? I know everyone has a different story, but I feel as though all homeless people deserve a second chance to better their lives.
