“Street Smart Homeless” It’s the 21st century and living in the age we are now, there are still homeless people walking the streets. In the article “Brother Don’t Spare A Dime” by L. Christopher Awalt the author reveals two types of homeless; the ‘temporary’ and ‘chronicle’. According to Awalt, the ‘temporary’ homeless are the ones whom are there because of certain circumstances that cause them to be there. Eventually these homeless would get up on their feet and get their lives together again. In the other hand there are the ‘chronically’ homeless which are the ones that decide to live in the streets.
Dr. Kitty Smith spoke about the existing local population that has no permanent shelter whatsoever and is completely homeless. Dr. Smith is Executive Director of HOPE Community Services, a non-profit, community action agency that offers services to seniors and low-income families in the area. She discussed her own attempts to find out how many homeless people are in the Southside area. Although there are not many obviously homeless people on the streets, she said that local law enforcement confirmed that there are homeless "colonies" in the area, living in the woods and abandoned vehicles. According to Dr. Smith, as long as these individuals don't cause trouble, the police leave them alone.
The book, Time To Move, is an short novel that discussed mainly on public housing and how and the government’s ignorance of the consequences of sheltering people into public houses. It goes on talking about how that environment can have a bad influence on a family without a fatherly role in it. Through the statistics of it, the reasons why people are in these “jail cells” are because of their income, the affordability, and government funding. With the life experience section, there were life stories based on four people who had enough of the way they were living and deciding to move out from their housing. This book is an inspirational book that can show you how to change your way of life through a body and mind perspective.
Mayor Schell’s Homeless Pledge Strayer University Dellia Dixon Concept of Programing Reengineering Modern Public Administration - 500 Dr. Phillip Neely February 22, 2014 Mayor Schell’s Homeless Pledge When the newly elected Mayor Schell of Seattle took office there was a severe homeless problem. He made a pledge that would affect over 5,500 homeless citizens living on the streets of Seattle every night (Draft, 2010 pg. 1).

I am happy to learn that the Bronxville Community Planning Committee has set aside funding for renovation of a vacant building or lot for the use of the community. The community has had a longstanding need for a building for a community center since the old community was burnt years ago. The citizen that were most affected by this lost were the senior citizens and the youths. Although there are several buildings available in Bronxville, I would recommend the committee consider a vacant building at 1350 Gunhill Road for proposed community center. The building is large, accessible, and has an associated vacant lot which could also be used.
He cited the pieces he believed to be contradictory to the United States’ lifestyle and pointed them out. There was no way around it in his opinion, and it had to be put to a stop. This was an exceptionally diverse method to go about fixing a problem in this era, and Frederick Douglass should definitely be commended for it. Frederick Douglass did not believe in something that was natural for the country he resided in, and he would not rest until this problem was fixed. The hypocrisy of the founding holiday was illogical and needed to be put to
He immigrated from Denmark in 1870. He couldn't find a job. After three years of struggling with poverty, Jacob finally found an employment and was recruited by the South Brooklyn news, but his career really moved forward when he became a police reporter for the “New York Tribune” in 1877. Jacob was ready to use his skills to get attention of the public and to help homeless. He knew what it was like to struggle with everyday life without a job and no place to sleep in.
Henry David also inspired civil disobedience. He did not agree with the government so he refused to pay taxes causing him to go to jail. Civil disobedience was a way of protesting against the
In this way, we will given all of the homeless a place to live and have fed them. This will keep them out of our cities and help them to be productive in society and assist in keeping the environment healthy. This isn’t inhumane. Homeless individuals are less than human because they don't pay taxes and they don't work and if they were honestly capable of being like the rest of us, then why aren't they off the streets already? Why would anyone want to show compassion to someone who has nothing?
