In the year 1984, October 1st, two Holy Cross Priests had the mere idea of creating a foundation to help the poor and homeless. By renting a house they started their own idea, by bringing in their first guest and creating something that will forever remain to offer hospitality. Slowly but surely, this organization formed many new members of volunteers to help as well. Not only did the volunteers increase, services were established that this organization offers, and many people from all over the Phoenix area started to send in donations such as clothes, blankets, and medical needs.

I’ve noticed that when writing a fieldwork you have to be able to step in and step out of the subculture you’re studying. You also must maintain your stand as an outsider and also be very detailed with your description in order to give the reader an insider view and know how it feels like to be part of that subculture. Thus you and the reader will have a deeper understanding of both yourself and the community you’re observing. In her Ethnographic Study "House for the Homeless: A Place to Hang Your Hat," Ivana Nikolic acts like a participant-observer and successfully illustrates the subculture of homelessness in America. Like Rick Zollo, Ivana observes and participates in this subculture to show the ways its members experience the world.

Their parents would always drink alcohol until it comes to a point that they are disregarding and neglecting their children. “Cheryl and I always woke up before our parents, so I would tend to Cheryl’s needs” (3). Both April and Cheryl would hear their parents yelling, fighting, knocking things over, and bumping into walls whenever they drink alcohol. They would also come to see their mother kissing someone else whilst their dad sleeping on the floor.

Nowadays, it seems as though one can only imagine living in a Utopian society free of homelessness. Even though this concept may be idealistic and virtually unrealistic, all communities must crave and strive for this to some degree. It has become a societal goal to provide a sense of “home” for all, even those not so lucky to have a place of their own to call “home”. However, one cannot force another to receive help, as they can only promote the individual willingly doing so themselves, so it would be appropriate for communities to at the very least provide the materials to do so. One major way this can be done is through the distribution of “care packages”.
