I made a slideshow for class about how to help and reduce homelessness

1. Homelessness in LA
Dre Johnson

2. introduction
Have you ever seen how many homeless people are on Skid Row in Los Angeles
and wondered how you could help? Well, if you have, there are ways of helping.

3. Who does homelessness affect most
We must first examine who homelessness affects most. We should
always look at the main demographic of an issue to determine the
solutions."Every night, nearly 66,000 Angelenos go to sleep homeless.
They are families evicted due to job loss, veterans suffering from trauma,
former foster youth, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons"
calfund.com 2022 This evidence details who homelessness affects most.

4. How to prevent homelessness from increasing
The next thing we must examine is how we can prevent homelessness and help those
already affected by homelessness. After we've found the main demographic for an issue,
we must find ways to help that demographic avoid falling victim to this issues. "When
voters passed Prop. HHH to fund supportive and affordable housing, we got organized
and made sure the housing got approved. When it took too long and cost too much, we
went to our lawmakers at the state and local level and got them to make the process of
creating housing easier and cheaper." everyoneinla.com 2022 We can help prevent
homelessness by voting in favor of Props that aid in the prevention of homelessness

5. Aiding homelessness in decreasing
The final thing we must examine for this solution is how we can combat
homelessness in a more hands-on way. Organizations such as "Habitat for
Humanity" choose to combat homelessness in a more interactive and direct
way by building houses for those in need. "Her story is part of Habitat for
Humanity's latest 2022 Annual Report, which summarizes the results of the
organization's work, carried out in fiscal year 2022, in more than 70
countries."- Habitatforhumanity 2022. This evidence details how building
homes for those in need has decreased homelessness in certain areas.

6. Conclusion
So why did I do all of this research? To find ways to combat
homelessness. All of these methods are wonderful for combatting
homelessness. I have done much research and found that these are
the best and most relevant out of all of the sources researched. I
believe that if we work together as a community, we can decrease the
homelessness rate in Los Angeles.
