Homelessness often receives a negative connotation when you talking about the community amongst peers, friends, and family.  Most lack the compassionate nature when it comes to the community and forget that they are human too.  For this teaching project, I teamed up with Madisun to explore the perspectives and resources that our friends have of the homeless community.  To do this we thought we would go to our sorority and explore their views and what resources they believed were available to the homeless community.  First, we thought we would go to the sorority house or do it before a meeting but then we realized that the library would be a better place.  We are continuously running into people and it gave us the flexibility to do it with not only our sorority but our other friends who would also be walking through.  We chose to focus on this aspect of the course because a majority of people have surface views what the homeless community is and it is questionable whether or not they know of resources that may be available to them.  I went into this thinking that people would have negative views and know little about the resources that are available to the community.  To do this project we presented our audience with a powerpoint and wrote what they viewed and thought onto the slide.  Some of the views that were shared include: dirty, drunk, and crazy.  After these views were shared we went into describing the three different types of homeless: chronic, transitional, and episodic.  Next, we asked what they resources they thought were available.  Some thought food drives, government services, and churches.  We then described a couple of resources that are available to the community.  We spoke on the 2-1-1 hotline, HOPE cops, and a number of organizations that treat the diversity within the homeless community. At the end of the lesson, we asked some takeaways or what they learned from our teaching lesson.  For the types of homelessness, people walked away with realizing that there is a diversity within the community.  They were able to see the different ways in which the homeless community can be.  They also realized that they tend to generalize the community into one specific category. We were able to discuss the different kinds of people that tend to be homeless. Whether they were families, veterans, or single parents.  When we discussed resources they asked whether or not the HOPE cops were actually helpful for the community.  I brought up the fact that the people often have to be willing to change but it is not a 100% thing.  After this discussion, they realized that they were helpful but understand that it does not always work.  Through this, they also gained an understanding that no one really likes to be told what to do.  On the 2-1-1 hotline, they did not realize that the hotline even existed. With this, they see that if they come across someone in need they would know what to do.
