Throughout these last couple days of class we have gone over some of the programs and other organizational that are created to help with the decreasing the percentage of a hunger and homelessness. Even though we have been progressing with more programs and organizations hunger and homelessness seems to continue to grow and the programs/services are beginning to have cut backs and the help for those in need is becoming more restricted. Cutting back these programs/services causes those who were in the border of getting out of extreme poverty to go right back down and lead to more and more families who are in need. America keeps on saying they are creating more and more need based services but more and more people are becoming homeless, is it the economic downfall we had? Will it get better? But why has it mot progressed since the 1970’s? There are a lot of questioned that are just up in the air. I just do not understand if the government doesn’t want to fund why is there laws being passed in smaller communities prohibiting fellow citizens who want to give and help those in need.

I am glad to be participating in the internship it allows me to understand this hunger and homelessness issue that is being dealt in America. After going to icare shelter I have been shocked. I think I am learning the one side of homelessness that I have never really thought of, which I will later discuss in our class presentations. The people there seem shy I wish they were more interactive but I hope to get more about the stories and programs that are said to be given in the shelter. Shelters are the beginning process to helping those recover from hunger and homelessness and I am happy to be a part of there process and I hope to find the real issue to why homelessness is increasing and why America is decreasing findings and prohibiting the help when a large portion of our population is becoming poorer and poorer.
