This website displays that there are ways you can help homelessness people from all over the world. I also liked that you can help an individual person because in that way, there is more of a connection with the person. The categories that interested me the most is employment and housing.

The pros include the four programs that are offered for homeless people. The cons is that they can’t offer anytime of housing for the homeless individual. The last approach is the Housing First model. The pro of this approach is that it finds a permanent home for the homelessness as soon as possible.
