After reading chapter 8 of Lyon-Callo’s book, I have a different understanding of the ways that we should be looking at the issues of homelessness. Yes, I previously understood that low-wages and lack of affordable housing are big issues that play into homelessness, but the way in which Callo explains it just put it together for me. Instead of just focusing on homelessness on a person by person basis, providing help in the form of shelter and resources like that, we should more so be focusing on the systematic problems that will continue to create homelessness regardless of how many shelters there are. These issues are low-wages and lack of affordable housing, and they will continue to put people of out homes for the rest of time unless those issues are personally confronted. The issue of funding is a real hurdle, as people who support you financially usually put restrictions on your vision, if its going to cause too much of a stir. Working within the system to try and make these changes are hard, for that very reason of funding. People will happily  (or sometimes not so happily) fun shelters to house the homeless, but when it comes time to address the issue of whats getting these people in the shelters, not many want to be a part of that. That is partially because its a big issue that is not easily solved at all, and most people dont want to embark on that journey.
