Homeless Veterans In America

The homeless veteran population is a concerning problem to the Veteran Affairs (VA). The population has been growing over many decades. To have a better understanding why there are so many veterans being homeless this paper will discuss many of the reasons why this is occurring. Veterans who have served in high combat can suffer from physical disabilities and mental illness that affect the normal daily tasks, but also who have not served can also suffer with the same issues. Suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PSTD), causes veterans to have a hard time transitioning back to civilian life after the military.

The bill that was supposed to be passed to help soldiers get more benefits was denied by us government and shoot down by 41 senators. The reason for that is because the seniors could not agree on how money should be spent on veterans a year. The government spent 3 billion dollars and they are not even sure if the effects are even helping the soldiers with the treatment that they are given. Ptsd is not taken taken seriously enough to tho very high and rapid growth in suicide rates. Which to current estimates is taking at least on average 22 soldiers a day in total 8008 a year due to the fact they can 't get the help or think the help won’t help them at

Also there wouldn 't have been the threat to the national security. Not just that there wouldn’t be the hunger of the veterans . Concluding , the veterans of the Great War were really upset that the army would disrespect. In the march there were nine out of ten veterans , and about twenty percent that were disabled. This shows that there were people out there that would risk going knowing that the veterans were never the same before the war , and that sick people would go knowing the risk.

PTSD means Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is a deadly disease emotional and physically. For example, it causes veterans to see flash backs of what they have saw over seas, they can physically hurt themselves and are unable to control the disease. PTSD is known to destroy family 's and break them apart even though the veterans can 't control it. "When trauma reactions are severe and go on for some time without treatment, they can cause major problems in a family"(Carlson).This shows how most family 's get divorced after a veteran has come back from war because of how severe the disease is. No veteran wants to admit that they have a disease, because they want to be seen as a tough individual.

Intervention strategies that would not work with the military community is a soldier coming back from deployment and not getting the help he/she need to cope with PTSD. A person who suffers from this syndrome without treatment may suffer from withdrawal, problems with employment or difficult being around other people especially in crowds. Hi, Darlene! When a soldier is deployed their children suffers the most in my opinion. Especially if the parent is an involved parent going games, school play and so much more.

In the 1960’s, Detroit was the fourth wealthiest city in the United States. However, on July 18, 2013, Detroit became the largest city to file for chapter 9 bankruptcy. This historical booming “arsenal city for democracy” has transformed into “empty apartment buildings, factories consumed the landscape and vacant homes”. Detroit’s census data has shown that twenty-five percent of the population has declined over the last decade. (Moreland, James.

Raising money to lower homelessness in America would not necessarily be a problem if people took it seriously. Homelessness is often overlooked due to the outstanding amount of money it would take to help the homeless. Though it would probably take a few years, getting the money to help them is possible. Another problem American may face as we help assist the homeless is that we do not know how to help them in the meantime. For example, we do not want to keep the homeless on the streets as we raise the money to help them, so we need a solution.

First of all, something that can be even worse for the kids is that they could have disabilities along with their parents such as ADHD and they can’t get proper treatment because of the lack of money. Also, their children still need food and water to survive and when their homeless with their parents because they got screwed up in the military, that can be a very hard thing for the kids to deal with. Lastly, the kids do not deserve the situation they’re in. They don’t deserve to be homeless just because their parents had to go to the military and after all the things the parents had to deal with, them and they’re kids need

Any time a scandal of this magnitude is exposed; donors tighten their grip on contributions, making it difficult for the thousands of honest and hard-working nonprofit charities to secure resources for their organizations. 2-c. Wounded Warrior Project –This recent scandal will halt donations from many supporters of the WWP organization, causing more suffering to our wounded and disabled veterans.

The first correctional facility to be introduced in the United States was the Eastern Penitentiary, and was constructed to hold only a couple hundred inmates at max capacity. Despite arguments discussing a decrease in current prison population, studies have shown that prisons are actually overpopulating and causing safety concerns. Prison population increasing over the years has led to seventeen states holding inmates at max capacity level. For example, Illinois’s prisons are currently holding over 48,000 inmates when their facility’s design capacity was to hold only about 33,000 prisoners (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2015). There have been many strategies suggesting to lower the population, for example, sending fewer offenders for drug crimes
