The homeless population is a real problem because it can happen to anyone that gets fired or the cost of living is too high. It is a Global problem because it happens everywhere. According altoscorps.org Worldwide there are 1.6 Billion people that are homeless. According to bartleby.com the population of homeless people tend to be higher in developing countries. Homeless is a real problem in Hawaii. According to Hawaii News Now there are 46 in every 10,000 people that are homeless in Hawaii. The homelessness problem is getting better because it decreased 10 percent in one year. We still have higher homeless people than California, Massachusetts, and Nevada. We are at the same rate as New York. Our topic is a problem in Hawaii because there are many homeless people living in Hawaii. Many of the homeless people are local. I think the reason why there are so many homeless people living in Hawaii is because the cost of living is high and the median income is low.I think we can make the homeless number lower by helping the homeless instead of sweeping them from areas because he'll just keep moving. Statistics: Hawaiʻi has the highest homeless rate per capita in the nation. Despite a 9% drop in homelessness, the associated press reports the state has 487 homeless per 100,000 people. The number of homeless in Hawaiʻi has risen since 2010, even though national rates have fallen. The state coordinator on homelessness says the population of unsheltered families have skyrocketed by 46% from 2014 to 2015. Services: Family Promise of Hawai’i is an innovative program to help families with children escape homelessness by providing safe spaces. FPH provides a safe space during the day at for the two Family Centers, and partners with local congregations, churches, synagogues, temples, mosques and community groups to provide safe places to sleep at night. History: Since opening in 2006, Family Promise of Hawaii has assisted hundreds of homeless families with much-needed programs and services that help them transition into affordable housing. They shelter up to 28 people (8 families) each week, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Reasoning Our non profit known as Family Promise of Hawai’i relates to our topic of interest which is homelessness or poverty. The Family Promise of Hawai’i helps many homeless families with their everyday lives and help try and get them on their feet. I feel like our topic relates perfectly because all we want to do is stop poverty just like The Family Promise of Hawai’i. |
