CONCLUSION

Obviously is very hard to look for a solution for homeless people, but everybody may do a difference to change this situation. Around the world in the majority of the countries exists a lot of organization with aims to help to these people, but WE can help them also. A very little donation would make the difference. Maybe only one dollar could help to someone to eat.

HOMELESSNESS VS HOUSELESSNESS

Many think so, but they are different and overlap.   Many think that if you have a roof over your head – housed that is (shelter, rooming house, somebody’s couch) then you are not homeless.   They think you are homeless only if you live outside, on the streets.  They are wrong.
 “home  is where the heart is” is quite valid and true.  Just because a homeless person is in shelter or sleeping on a friend’s couch, or living in a cheap motel, doesn’t mean he or she is not still homeless.

They may be housed and homeless at the same time.  This is a big issue and a terribly sore spot with the homeless.  To them there is a world of difference; almost fighting words!   There are homeless veterans and houseless veterans, two different levels of homeless, but don’t say that someone housed cannot be homeless.  The houseless veteran is one that sleeps in a doorway or back alley or along some creek bank somewhere.   The homeless veteran covers that and also the housed that cannot make a home out of their accomidations.

MAKING A CHANGE

There are some organizations that helps homelessness people and try to end with this situation for example The National Coalition for the homelessness is a network that help homelessness people some of the volunteers are ex- homelessness so they have the experience and patient to help to the others. Another organization is the Union Gospel Mission that provides them the necessary things to live like shelter, food and try to find a good place to live.

This kind of organizations just have a mission: To help and end with this situation providing shelter, food, care to the ones in need.

These organizations are always invited to anyone to donate things to the ones in need, because is no necessary to belong to one specific organization if we have the will to help to these people we can do it individually.
