part 4

Poverty and Homelessness are issues that have to be faced in any region of the world. There are so many different aspects that it is almost impossible to think there is a solution. In fact, I don’t believe that there is a solution. I think there are measures that people as individuals can take to try and prevent one or both, but there is no big plan to solve the whole problem. If there was such a plan, it would already be in affect.
I believe that some action should be taken. I think the government should step in and help those who are in need, and they do with programs such as tin care and welfare. Although these actions are already set in place, people are still denied their basic human needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. This is just not right. I don’t think that anyone deserves to live on the streets.
I think Memphis, and other cities in the United States should set up more free housing. Whether it be through housing programs such as MHA or THDA, or simply more shelters for people in desperate need to turn to. That is one of the few ways we could help this problem. But we will never be able to force job availability, or a permanent boost in our economy to help these people out.
