WHAT IS HOMELESSNESS?
In simple terms,
homelessness is defined as the absence of a place to live.
A person who has no regular place to live, is usually found in an overnight emergency shelter,
an abandoned building, an all-night coffee shop or theatre, a car, outdoors, or other such places that are not meant for people
to live in.
Not one person deserves to be living on the
streets, or in a park or a broken down building. And, no one deserves to eat scraps out of the garbage cans, or freeze
in the cold winter nights. So why don't we do something about it. Why don't we start to make a stand to help out those lost
youth, who THINK they have no where to go.
There are many shelters and services for youth who
do not have a house to go home to at the end of the day. Most children and teenagers have never heard of these services, so
let'ts start today by explaining all the different areas around our city that give youth a bed to sleep in rather then a park
bench.
