The approach to rebuilding an individual�s self esteem and dignity allows the homeless citizen to seriously contemplate the possibility of rejoining work as a valued person in the community. This is the ultimate goal of a truly noble and worthy homeless shelter.

GUIDANCE

One of many problems faced by homeless persons will be the lack of ability to support themselves in everyday survival: things such as getting a shower, clean clothes, dealing with interviews or doctors, a roof over one�s head, nutritional and sustaining food inside our belly, human company- and then we are not alone.

These are things many of us take for granted.

This is where proper guidance can hold and assist tremendously.

This is what our homeless need to acquire back on their feet properly and permanently. This ought to be the norm not the exception, could you agree?

3 TYPES OF HOMELESS PEOPLE

Our homeless can overall be categorized into 3 areas.

Those down on their luck. When someone is living on their financial edge. This can happen due to a chain of unanticipated events that befall them. This group is resilient and can generally bounce back.

Some always require assistance. This group, due to the hardships faced and inability to sustain health issues facing them (homeless people take a lot longer to get over health issues due to their perplexities) - they will need reminders to consider medication and a follow up service is required.

Some learn how to play the system. We supply heard the expression �you often leads a horse to water however you can�t make it drink.� So true.

The reality is that you just cannot help everyone who is homeless. There are so many worth our help, yet like every areas of our society, additionally, there are some determined to take part in the system, milk it and never give back.

The government needs to find an alternative approach to approach to eliminate the misuse of funds to the people who will not co-operate for own good.
