As I’ve been doing more research and learning more, I realized homelessness dates back very far. Further than these books speak on. I believe the reason it become so known around the 1960’s is because that’s when people began to see how abnormal this actually was. But in previous times they were trying to annihilate a population of people or prevent them from producing more. Majority of population agreed with this concept so much wasn’t done to help them. As time went on people began to see this population of people was not going away, no longer being able to make these people just disappear like before by putting them in asylums or keep them hidden. People began to advocate for these people and come up with plans to help them back on their feet. One plan being providing houses and treatment for the unhoused. Believing that most people who were homeless had some sort of mental or physical disorder. Another is having things necessary for them if housing isn’t available like plays to shower or housing when the weather is too hot or too cold. This was a hard project to start, since they wanted things done on a big scale more money was needed to help fund projects like this. So protesting became very big to help get attention of higher authority, once having them on your side this plan could really take off, But even till this day we have problems with getting them on board. From what I have heard from this class and people who come and speak to us its for economical purposes. Which saddens me that our lives mean less than the money we create.
