This week we were lucky enough to have some people off the streets, come into class and talk about the homeless situation. \u00a0They gave plenty of insight and brought light to the reality that homeless people face. \u00a0Being homeless allows them to give us an inside to the otherwise outside based dilemma that homelessness has become. \u00a0Giving their opinions on what they believe should be done to combat this issue, and what is being done. \u00a0People keep assuming things, which is why our homeless problem has gotten so out of hand. \u00a0You have to listen to the people; help where you can and adapt to what is available. \u00a0Finding or creating affordable housing is what needs to be done, according to real homeless people. \u00a0Yet we still are struggling to get approval because city’s and towns don’t want to have the homeless around. \u00a0To that I say stop being selfish and get over yourself, their are only positive effects when we help our own kind. \u00a0You’ll come to learn about yourself, and the people on the streets who might just be like you, but have been stigmatized by society and looked down upon. \u00a0We are the ones that can change this cycle and get people the help they need so we have a more efficient running society. \u00a0It’s time we start listening to the people effected by these rather crappy situations, so that we can address the problems at the root.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
