Generally, houselessness people don't have house, they sleep on the streets or in some shelter which isn't theirs and depends on the helps from the government or solidarity for surviving. Those people live a situation of social discrimination for the extreme poorness.
For the government, they are the families which don't have incomes enough for the basic feed and nutrition. But that's not the only one problem.
The consequences of this situation are complex. The most direct is that a high amount of families don't have access to basics rights, benefits and services. Millions of people aren't fed right, in the worst of the cases, they suffer desnutrition. Also, they aren't incomes enough to take care of their health needs either.
The lost of incomes affects the education of the children too, and the posibilities of work which makes a vicious circle that becomes the needs in the structural poverty in the society. The becoming of poorness derives on the lost of mental skills affecting the society.
This issue can come from the marginalization and desocialization of the people. Consequently, the break of social coexistence that therefore there will be new security issues because the houselessness people could become thiefs as the last option for get the basic needs as food, clothes, money for surviving.
We can help Houselessness people in different ways, such as:
Donating money to non-profit organizations whose goal is to help or offer the necessary help for these people.
Likewise not only donate money, but help with clothes or accessories that we do not use but that are in good condition.
donate things so they can recreate, we can be volunteers to encourage them by doing different types of activities that help them get distracted and get a smile.
Find a way to provide them with food and take volunteer doctors to do a medical checkup. Get and give information about this issue of not having a place for living, sharing data about this to the people in your comunity through sending letters to the newspaper, writting blogs and posting in social media with the purpose to transmit the information of how it is living on the streets is a social problem. So, giving a message about how people can help. (As we are doing right now through this blog馃槃馃憤)
As you can tell, even the smallest thing with what a person can help is valid.

From my point of view,
houselessness people are those who have
the support of a family, who are complete with the love that each member transmits,
however, they have run out of a place to live, a place where capture all the
love they carry as a family.

The state of being without a house. This is often mistaken for homelessness, which is a psychological issue, rather than one of location.

"Home has always been a gathering place, shelter, and sanctuary, providing escape from the busyness and intrusiveness of the world." (Allen M, 2016)
Home have diferent symbolic meanings embedded in the physical design of houses and projected onto them by the belief systems within which our lives play out.
But nowdays home has become a more problematic notion, because of everyday encounters with our homeless fellow citizens, home has become a more problematic notion, because of everyday encounters with our homeless fellow citizens.

``The
National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty currently estimates that more
than 3.5 million people in America (some 2 million of them children), were
likely to experience homelessness in a given year´´ (Ensign, 2016). While difficult to measure, the
increase in the demand for shelter beds each year is a strong indicator that
homelessness is on the rise, and not only in America.
According
to the United Nations, there are at least 100 million homeless in the world
today. There are many other ways to help homeless people. Donating food and
clothing to homeless shelters is a great way to help because some time we give
money to homeless people but they can buy drugs, alcohol and this affect their
situations. You could also volunteer your time with such an organization.
Educate yourself and others about homelessness, and share facts about
homelessness with others. Use letters to your local newspaper, blog posts, and
social media to spread the word about how homelessness is a problem and what
others can do to help.
Provide food:
``One
of the constant struggles of homelessness is finding enough to eat. Donate
canned or boxed goods to your local soup kitchen or homeless shelter´´(Ensign, 2016)
·Before making your
donation, contact the homeless organization and find out which items they need
most.
·Alternately, you could
buy (or make) lunch for a homeless person you encounter on the street
Donate recreational items:
``In
addition to practical items like clothes and hygiene products, you might want
to provide toys for the children of homeless families´´(Ensign, 2016). Homeless children
often have few possessions of any kind, and may not have any toys at all. For
adults, you might want to donate books, magazines, or other reading materials.
·Donating toys is an
especially good idea around the holidays, when homeless kids often have few
gifts to look forward to.
Educate others about homelessness:
``Many
people have trouble sympathizing with homeless people because of the many
negative stereotypes that the homeless population is burdened with´´(Ensign, 2016). Educating others
could be as simple as correcting a friend or coworker about a homeless
stereotype they express, or it could be talking with your local city or county
politicians about the problems homeless people face.
·If you have children,
start by educating them. If you volunteer for an organization that supports the
homeless, ask if you can take your child along so that they can see firsthand
the hardships of homelessness
Donate items:
``Donating
your used or new items is another easy way to help ´´(Ensign, 2016). Donate these items
to local organizations that house the homeless or otherwise support them.
Alternately, you could provide such things to your local homeless population
directly. The best items to donate include
·Winter weather clothing
(such as hats, mittens, coats, and boots)
·Professional clothing
(a hurdle to overcoming homelessness is looking presentable at job interviews)
·First aid items (such
as Neosporin, Band-Aids, antibacterial cream, and hand sanitizer)
·Secondary medical items
(such as sunscreen, heavy duty lotions like Bag Balm, allergy medication, and
tissues)
·Bus passes (great for
helping them get to job interviews)
·Linens (i.e. twin
sheets, towels, pillows and pillow cases)
I
personally do not give money to anyone asking for spare change. That is a
choice I make, not because I am concerned people will use the money for drugs,
alcohol, tobacco or anything else I may consider unhealthy choices, but because
I have decided to use my money to support agencies I know and work with and
which provide direct services as well as advocacy. I do make sure that I try to
make eye contact and say a polite, “No, I’m sorry, I can’t” whenever anyone
asks me for money. In addition, I do intervene nicely but firmly whenever I
witness someone belittling a homeless person with derogatory comments like
“Just get a job!” Such aggressive, judgmental comments should not be tolerated
in a civil society.
