Can You Pass This Month’s Test on Homelessness?
EXTRA CREDIT ANSWER
We've found that homeless men and homeless women are equally optimistic about the future. And surprisingly, most homeless people we encounter believe their lives will improve someday. Unfortunately, most of our clients believe that improvement will take extended time. Most cite two reasons for this. First, the sluggish economy, which is hard on most people, is especially difficult for the unhoused. The recession and its aftermath have made it extremely challenging for homeless people to become permanently rehoused. Second, the longer lasting the downturned economy (with its attending high un- and underemployment rates), the less financial and material assistance charities like West Side Homeless Outreach receive. And homeless people feel the brunt.
