Homelessness is a big problem in the US. So many people are out on the streets, especially in big cities. We need to teach these people some skills, and then help them to find jobs. Handing homeless people money is not going to do anything for them, for the most part. A lot of them will turn around and use the money for things that are not going to help them get off the streets. We need to implement plans to educate these people. Any ideas on how we can help?

Homelessness
Everytime I see a homeless person i ask myself how can i help. To tell you the truth i don't know. I guess the only thing that we can do is to open up more homeless shelters and get more volunteers.
