Shelters

(WENY) Tuesday, more than 50 shelter dogs and cats were flown from the Memphis area to Upstate New York to be given a second chance at finding a new home. Of those animals, 13 dogs were brought to the Chemung County SPCA in Elmira. "It was super cool, we pulled up and it was almost emotional, we were really excited," explained Chmeung County SPCA Community Engagment Manager, Arynn Brucie. More than 400 dogs and cats were taken from the Memphis Tennessee area to shelters in Upstate New York and…

They could go to a shelter, but it may be full or they don’t get there in time. If they work during the time the shelter is letting people in, they may not get a spot and have to sleep outside. They might have to choose between working or getting in a shelter. They also may be too stubborn or embarrassed to go to a shelter. Sometimes people don’t want to admit that they need help or they think they can just figure out the situation themselves. If they can’t or won’t go to a shelter, it could…

conditions. Homeless children will be placed within a shelter with the rest of their immediate family. The issue with the shelter placement is that it is often random. With random placement comes the issue of “families being moved further from the neighborhoods they know, and from family and friends who might be able to help them” (Harris).

streets or in a shelter creates multiple barriers to adherence to medical regimens. For example, homeless persons may lack access to refrigeration for medications, their prescribed diets may be compromised by limited menu choices at food banks or shelters, and getting adequate rest is challenging when shelters close early in the mornings.

Although homelessness in New York City is increasing, St. John’s Bread & Life has developed programs to help people who are struggling…

I think there should be shelters that are big enough for men and women to have their own side. In some cities, there are only shelters for women and children, but not men. But, you also have the shelters who only have spaces for men. However, there are not many for men and children. It is very rare for men to have children with them at the shelters. In the biography The Pursuit of Happiness, a struggling father and his young son went from shelter to shelter before he could afford a motel.…

I plan to interview several individuals at Hope’s Door and learn about their stories and their needs. Through this I hope to motivate and provide for the homeless. I hope that in all they are given, they will feel more ‘at home’ at the homeless shelter. I will give them a pillow with a hand sewn pillowcase to make it feel more personal.…

perfect and they are not for everyone. Are They Suitable For Long Term Survival? Today's underground shelters, as they are called, are not your granddad's bomb shelter that was popular during the cold war era. Even though the bomb shelters constructed during the 1950's and placed in the backyard were touted as long term shelter options, they really were not for long term survival however. The shelters were designed…
