Homelessness

These are people who, generally through no fault of their own, become without shelter, or an address to be able to get employment or subsistence. Some resort to crime or drugs. Most are looking for a chance at life, again.

Why people think that homeless people are lazy?

Because of simple logic they use without actually taking the time to get to know an individual. They connect no house or home with no working to have a place and connect that with not wanting to work and being lazy. Some feel if they have a home from working, surely everyone who does what they do should have the same outcome, and if they have the opposite then it must be because they did the opposite action(s) to garner the effect. However, it should be clear that an opinion like such is highly misguided.

ANSWER:

Because they see homeless people and judge from a distance. Guarentee those that judge the homeless has never stopped, taken the time and asked one single, how did you end up this way. Many, many people are one paycheck away from homelessness. So don't be too quick to judge the plight of the homeless calling them lazy. An Awake issue on jw.org had this to say: After spending time in a shelter, some are able to become self-sufficient again and find their own accommodations. For others, the situation is more difficult to resolve. In part because of mental or physical illness, substance abuse, lack of incentives to work, poor work habits, lack of adequate education, or a combination of factors, they become chronically homeless. In the United States, some 30 percent of homelesspeople are in and out of what one nonprofit organization calls the "homeless system"-a system that includes shelters, hospitals and, sadly, prisons. Those who are chronically dependent on the system are said to utilize as much as 90 percent of the national resources dedicated to the problem.

The book Strategies to Combat Homelessness, published by the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements, identifies a number of shortcomings of the present social, political, and economic system when it comes to providing homes for all. Included are the following:

● "The main issue with respect to homelessness remains the inability of governments to devote significant resources towards the full realisation of the right to adequate housing."

● "The existence of inappropriate regulations and inefficient planning systems can . . . cause havoc with housing supply for the poor majority."

● "Homelessness is a sign of the inequitable distribution of housing costs and benefits in the community."

● "The crisis of homelessness is the culmination of policies that have either ignored or misdiagnosed the adverse impact of economic shifts, the lack of affordable housing, increased drug abuse, and other physical health and mental health problems of those who are the most vulnerable in . . . society."

● "There is a great need to modify the training of professionals who deal with vulnerable people. Homeless people, particularly street children, should be regarded as unutilised but potential assets rather than burdens to society."

What help is there for homeless teenage mothers?

I am in the early stages of making help available for the homeless teenage moms, as well as those in a crisis pregnancy. I have the Cradled Hearts Home (in the works), and I will be working with many charitable outlets. I want to have pre/post natal care, further education, and many other ways in order to help. I currently have one opening for a young lady that is in a crisis pregnancy that is wanting to place her child with an adoptive couple. I am working very hard to make this come together so that no teenager and her baby will ever be in a homeless situation. I promise I will help in anyway that I can. My sister is a nurse, and worked in the NICU for seven years, then went in to rehab medicine. She has volunteered all of her time, and we are working with a great OB/GYN. If you are not close to us, we can make sure you get here. I do have references, and everything will be kept anonymous I'm sorry that I only have room for one right now, but that will change. We do not judge. Your past is just that! The only thing we are interested in is you and your future. If anyone needs immediate help, please let me know. As I only have room for one, we will network to get you in a home, NOT a shelter. This is a home that provides love, compassion, and understanding. Please contact me anytime. You may call collect, as I am STILL waiting on my toll free number. It was supposed to be working yesterday, but it is slated for today instead. If you need help with drug addiction, or any other health related issue, please let me know so I can network with the correct doctor(s). If you need clothes, especially coats or baby clothing, let me know asap. I will get them to you right away.

How do you get more awake points in Hobo Wars?

You have to eat more food, you get food by exploring the city or buying it. you will need to get a trolley which you will get from the trolley boy in the wallmart at east side, but before that, you will have to do a couple of Duncans missions in the city.

***NOTE*** you can only eat 5 times

another way is to wait for about 2 hrs. your awake bar will be full.
