IntroductionHomelessness started to become a dilemma since the 1930s leaving millions of people without homes or jobs during The Great Depression. Every year, homeless people have to deal with food and shelter. Loss of work, loss of affordable housing and loss of a partner are some of the main reasons that many people have become homeless. Homelessness is a problem that affects millions every year. Therefore, lawmakers must find a solution. To find long-term effective solutions to homelessness, government officials need to arrange for appropriate treatment for those with these problems. To end this problem, governments must provide treatment for homeless people. This is a big problem for the economy. “Approximately 85% of homeless are there because they are addicted and/or have mental illnesses.” These circumstances can make it possible for half of people to be homeless, and lead to them living on streets. The authors state that people who are dependent on drugs or other medications can have a negative impact on their education and community. However, society cannot solve the problem of homeless people until it addresses the root cause. These obstacles can be overcome by providing treatment options that help homeless people to get off drugs.

Another problem is that homeless people are experiencing mental health issues right now. The survey of more that 2,500 homeless people in England revealed that 70% of them had one or several health problems. More than half of those who responded also reported having a mental disorder. This shows that nearly half of England’s population is suffering from health problems. This problem could be solved by health care reform. But it doesn’t provide everything. Programs can be used to help vagrants who need health care. However, it won’t cover all. Health care can be expensive. This is what leads to people becoming homeless.

Solutions for homelessness: Get health insurance for the homeless. It is difficult for people to be approved for insurance if they don’t have the proper documents. It is a risky proposition that homeless people or those who spend most of their time on the streets are at higher risk of developing conditions like immersion foot, hypothermia, and frostbite. This means that regardless of where the homeless are living, they are most likely to catch any disease. The NHCHC states that 700 homeless people per year experience hypothermia. Hypothermia is defined as having a low body temperature that loses heat quickly. The possibility of getting a disease is increased by being homeless, even with climate change. It is very difficult for homeless people to avoid any diseases, and this explains many of the conditions they can get. Even if they’re employed, it can be difficult for families and individuals to get insurance. Even if some people are eligible for insurance, it may be difficult to reach them as they don’t possess the correct address to send them job applications or checks. The project involved 208 US clinics. It included initiatives such setting up hospitals in shelters or providing health care services at soup pantries. The United States will now have clinics available for those who want to check their health. The result is that homeless people will have access to free insurance. They can apply to any clinic or program in any country.

Another option is to reduce the cost of housing. The twenty-first Century has seen many counties and cities continue to offer a range of housing services to homeless people, including transitional housing and emergency shelters. Programs have been expanding rapidly across the country to ensure that every person and family can have their own home. These programs will help homeless people. Shelters will always be available. Rent prices were rising rapidly, making it difficult for people who are homeless to pay their bills. Many homeless people have no traditional job. They rely on begging, panhandling or busking for income. This is how homeless people survive. However, it could end up in prison. People don’t have enough money to pay for their houses or their necessities, even though they still have jobs. The plan was to raise money to end homelessness in countries. It would cost more than $25 billion by 2041, but it would bring benefits worth more than $70 billion. It will take around 22 years for a quest to be completed, but it will pay off in future.

The third option is finding work for the homeless. Some homeless people don’t like working and are lazy, which makes it difficult for them to make enough money to cover their needs. Data shows that 20% of homeless Americans work either full-time or part time, but not enough to pay their most basic necessities. 30% of women and men who visit food pantries and soup kitchens have jobs. A living wage is the minimum income that an individual or a family needs to cover basic needs such as housing, food and transportation. Policies should be in place to guarantee this. If this happens, workers don’t have enough income to meet their basic needs. To the contrary, homeless people will have to find a way back to work. This means that they will have to look for someone to take care their children. Only 10% of Federal-aid recipients receive assistance for child care costs. The reason is that many of these families don’t have access to free Federal assistance and some families who are poor do not want their children to be cared for. Child care should be made available to all parents, even those working late hours. In this situation, parents would find it easier to work overtime and wouldn’t have to worry who would care for their children.

ConclusionAfter careful review, this essay reveals that decreasing the income of homes is the best solution for helping the community. It will help homeless people stay off the streets. Many homeless people will be able to afford housing through programs and charities, which should have a positive impact on the future of many families or individuals.
