Homeless Housing
Matt Jewell
Should the government provide more affordable housing?
The government has provided affordable housing for the homeless of America for years. The American government has proven time and time again that it will provide to the American public. Now, it depends on how those people use those opportunities to become better, and if they can use it to achieve something greater. The US government has established divisions such as HUD to combat these issues. The government can only achiece so much by giving these opportunities to the homeless because a majority of homeless individuals would not accept their obligations.
Should the government provide help to the homeless children?
A majority of the homeless people in America are adult, caucasian men. Children are amomg the very few percentile that are legitimately homeless. HUD and most government programs focus on sheltering children a lot more than adults. For instance, children that are not permitted to live with their parents are placed in foster care or are handed over to a stable guardian in the family.
