(Homelessness, 2015) The majority of the homeless veterans are between the ages of fifty-one and sixty-one, and most have them have fought in the Vietnam War in nineteen fifty-five. After they ones who risk their lives get home to the United States and leave the military, they do not have a home to go to if they do not have a family. The military does not provide homes to those that serve after they get back till they can get jobs or other places to live, so they end up homeless and alone. We should provide homes for the veterans that risk their lives to save us until they can get back on their feet and get a job and get their own home.

The homeless have no true place to call their own and they just have to hope and pray they find a safe warm place to sleep and a meal for that day. Worst of all though is that the homeless do not have a place they can feel loved and be happy at like we do when we come home everyday. Quindlen said it best when she says”they are people who have no homes. No drawer that holds the spoons…”(Quindlen 216). Quindlen is trying to say that the homeless do not have small things to enjoy in life like we do.

This may be an amazing way to stop homelessness, but what are the disadvantages of living in a homeless shelter? In the web article “Why Don’t Homeless People Use Shelter?” by Kylyssa Shay, published on January 27, 2017, in most homeless shelters they don’t have enough beds for more than 20 people! Females and males are not usually can’t be in the same shelter and if there are families the mothers would take the kids, but if there is a male boy at age 13 he is required to go to a male homeless shelter that he might not even be able to get into.

With the “City wide bans on camping in public have increased [along with the]… city wide bans on sleeping in public…, sitting or lying down in particular places… [and,] bands on sleeping in vehicles have [all] increased”(Wiltz).

Along with around twenty other classmates, I aided in in the construction of two beautiful homes for two of the many impoverished families of Scott County. (Maybe another sentence). While in this impoverished, rural community, my typical impulses experienced changes. Prior to taking off from LaGuardia Airport, our chaperones directed us to leave all technology behind. We were not even allowed to have our cellphones for the week ahead, and therefore disconnected from the outside world entirely.

To begin with, Kozol’s essay “Untouchables” makes the homeless seem like victims. However, in Bliss’s essay “Homeless man Interviews Himself” the homeless are praised and thought of as heroes. Throughout Kozol’s essay there is a pattern of stories that seem to make the reader have sympathy for the homeless people. Kozol describes “..an elderly woman who had been living in Grand Central on one of the few remaining benches was removed night after night during the weeks preceding Christmas.

My final and last point is showing sympathy as he is represented as homeless. " The Hunchback In The Park", this quote is showing homelessness as he sleeps and lives in the park, this quote implies that he has nowhere to live or go so he lives in a public park. The author is referring back to cruelty and no class because if the society wasn't so cruel, the people might not have given a roof under his head but they would have given the life

Rutherford Birchard Hayes, the nineteenth president of the United States of America had many profound accomplishments before setting out on the campaign trail in 1876. Rutherford was born on October 4, 1822 in Delaware, Ohio, by his mother Sophia who had lost her husband, Rutherford’s father ten weeks earlier. Rutherford grew up in a house full of love and faith, which helped to smooth the rough times of growing up without a father, as well as losing two siblings. Rutherford earned the nickname “Rud” as he was growing up in Delaware, unable to play and socialize with other kids his age until he was seven years old due to his frail and unstable health in early years. With Rud couped up around the Hayes household for many of his early years,

Victor’s father, Abram was born in 1902, in the quaint Ukrainian town of Kherson, in the Lower Dnieper River. He was fifteen years old when the Red Revolution, following by the bloody Civil War changed the lives and destiny for millions people. The new regime eradicated old customs and believes: most of the churches and synagogues were either destroyed or turned into the warehouses.

During the Great Depression, my family and I went through difficult times for about ten years. I was unemployed and couldn’t pay for our home. In result, we became homeless and we don’t know where to go. Though some families allowed us to move in together under one roof, sometimes allowing strangers in homes can bring some difficulty and stress so I declined. So, because of this we are forced to live in squatter settlements called Hoovervilles (shacks that housed millions of unemployed).

Does The 2008 Flood still affect us to this day? Nearly 8 years and 4 months since the flood in Mason City, people are still working on getting the houses moved or destroyed since then people have gotten new homes. Many houses in Mason City, Iowa were left waiting to get moved or destroyed. The whole process is a little sad, said Kavaya. “I’ve lived in my house for more than 40 years, so I hate to leave it.

Although there has been a decline in the number of homeless Veterans since this announcement, the current glide path suggests they will miss the goal unless services are expanded and more success is achieved. In fact, in 2012, VA served more than 240,000 Veterans who were homeless or at risk of becoming homeless—21 percent more than the year before. These numbers suggest the VA is becoming more effective and is serving more of the demographic in need, but it also paints an unacceptable picture of nearly a quarter million Veterans who were faced with life on the streets that year.
