Proposal Pitch for Housing for the Homeless
Homelessness is an ongoing problem in our country;
approximately there were 580,466 homeless people are living in
the United States and increasing daily. An individual is
considered homeless if they stay in their cars, shelters,
abandoned buildings, on the streets, or with family or friends.
Homelessness can be caused by unemployment, mental illness,
disabilities, foreclosure, housing, low-paying jobs, and criminal
history. As a country, enough is not being done to end
Homelessness, but Homelessness seems to increase due to
unaffordable housing. Homeless people need health care,
shelter, clothes, and food but must be treated as human beings.

4. There are several circumstances in which an individual or
family may become homeless. A portion of Homelessness is
caused by individuals with physical and mental disabilities.
(CCBC Library) Due to the lack of health insurance, the
homeless may suffer from malnutrition, disease and illness,
exposure to crime, and weather conditions can contribute to
poor health for the homeless. States have refused to expand
their medical program, which leaves the low-income and
homeless uninsured. Substance abuse also contributes to
Homelessness; the lack of affordable housing and no remaining
space in shelters forces individuals to live on the streets. Some
areas do not allow the homeless to sleep, eat, beg, or sit. They
have put armrests in the middle of benches and made some
benches backless to prevent the homeless from sleeping on
them. Over 57,000 homeless veterans and nearly 5000 are
females, and sixty percent of them were in shelters and the rest
unsheltered. Almost five years of leaving the military, forty-
four percent have experienced at least one day of
Homelessness.
My goal is to contribute to the cause of preventing
Homelessness within our country. Since most urban areas have
the highest rate of Homelessness, there is a need for more
facilities to house the homeless.
My communication plan will consist of emailing organizations
in the community. They can help me aid in setting up programs
to help individuals get back on their feet to fully support
themselves or family financially. Assist with clothing, teach
skills to gain employment, and medical assistance. Research a
suitable location and building to house the homeless, assist with
transportation and provide meals daily. Writing a proposal for
grants to help finance my facilities, communicate verbally with
individuals I can trust to develop a committee to oversee the
facilities, and hire employees. I would organize a meeting with

5. the community to gain their support and volunteers to assist the
individuals living at the facilities.
Finally, using my notes, I would craft a presentation for
businesses trying to convince and persuade them to participate
and help finance my idea of opening facilities for the homeless.
I would then revise and rehearse the presentation to understand
it holistically and expound and clarify any point with
compelling information. In this way, I would be confident
enough to present the exhibition before the community leader
and business owner. I would be better positioned to counter any
debate or criticism they could make.
