Addy Rutter wrote an engaging argument about a plan to create a homeless shelter, however, he relies too heavily on pathos, fails to address solutions, and has many assumptions regarding the topic.

The trains carried thousands of homeless and abandoned children to brighter futures and away from the forgotten slums of New York City. This unusual and very controversial social experiment sparked the concept of foster care in the United States then and still impacts today’s children.

    Under the housing first model, the primary focus on assisting individuals deem chronically homeless, is to provide permanent housing first, rather than to focus on continuum care, that typically demands sobriety along with other requirements before individuals are deemed ready for housing (Kertesz, Crouch, Milby, Cusimano, & Schumacher, 2009). Ideally, aside from providing housing for the homeless, this approached also serves as two sided coin for those bearing the cost (taxpayers, local legislators) and for those who see it fit in advocating to serve this population in a more humane manner. The housing first model or the PATH model, has increasingly gained traction based on the idea that these types of programs have arguably shown to be more feasible than incarceration, outpatient treatment, and ER visits, alleviating a

    In the 2008, Annual Homeless Assessment Report, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, 17.7% of adults in America experienced disability and 42.8% of sheltered, homeless adults experienced disability. The Lehigh valley community, consisting of Lehigh and North Hampton Counties was not universally designed for all individuals. According to the Lehigh Valley Research Consortium (2008), there are approximately 80,456 individuals over the age of 5 living in the Lehigh Valley who have a disability (about 13% of the combined Lehigh and Northampton County populations); 44,198 in Lehigh County and 36,258 in North Hampton County. Due to the rising cost and decreasing availability of reasonable and accessible accommodations and resources in the community, disability could be a contributing factor to the pervasiveness of homelessness and a strong theme among the homeless population. The Lehigh Valley Coalition on Affordable Housing (LVCoAH) produces a biannual Shelter Census, which collects data on every woman, man, and child that enters each of the Lehigh Valley’s nine emergency shelters.
