Self Sufficiency is the Answer
Here’s a fact about homelessness: most people who find themselves living on the streets experience homelessness as a temporary situation. They experience instability due to economic fluctuations (think COVID), health issues (think COVID), changes in family situation, or any of a number of other circumstances (many beyond the individual’s control).
People temporarily experiencing homelessness don’t want to become a drain on society any more than they want to spend freezing-cold nights on the outside. They might need some job training or temporary help with housing while they get back on their feet.
Self-sufficiency breaks the cycle, and enables people the opportunity to restart their lives and once again be productive, contributing members of society.
Homelessness is OUR Problem
The solution to homelessness is complex. It requires the best efforts of government, religious organizations, foundations, businesses, nonprofits and individuals. Homelessness is OUR Problem. All of us.
And we can only do our part when our generous supporters get involved and do their part, too.
Homelessness is OUR problem, and it is expensive.
You can support our efforts to get people off the streets and reintegrated into a productive society, or pay for their misery. Either way, homelessness is never free. It is your choice. Just remember, one of your options – supporting solutions like ours – feels awfully good.
