There are social services available. Look in the phone book.  Make a few calls. You should be able to get food stamps and other services and moneys to pay at least some bills, like utilities.\nLook for a community help line. They are set up to help people find the services they need.  All too often people wait to call until the situation is in crisis and that could be avoided or lessened if they had just taken the initiative to call sooner.  I do not mean to sound cold, I do care, I just want you to get the phone book out now and have the other adult make some of the calls for you.\nThere may even be some special needs charities.\nIt varies by location. Here we have a group that is just for coordinating all the charity services available and helping people file for help.\nGood luck as you pursue things.

You've heard the saying "Give a man a fish he eats for a day but teach him how to fish he eats for a lifetime."  Same thing, do something that will reap longterm benefits.  Instead of feeding a homeless, which is nice, work with a group that teaches a skill like reading or employement skills.  There is so much need out there. Do something you enjoy. I enjoy animals so I volunteered at an animal shelter.  I walked dogs, socialized them, fed them, put available animals on petfinder.com and gave them love.

Start with yourselves. Have discipline and motivation to have a good education and a decent job. Poverty are mostly the result of undisciplined indidviduals within the society. They often complain and ask the government to help them but they don't even tried to help themselves. Also we all should have a new government. Vote for those right in the position and not because you are being paid. Officials can't make this thing a positive issue at this moment because they're so busy with their own "business" so we really can't rely our future to them. We can do it step-by-step.

You might want to check into your local Work Scource program and also if you have any "Homeless" shelters around where you live they may also have some information. The local employment office is another.Good luck!!!

Government of India has been creating a lot of policies for the benefit of the people staying in rural India... certain levels of Tax benefits r also being given to them..\n\nin some states they have also gone ahead and written off loans given to poor farmers as losses in account books so that they dont have to repay back... \n\ngovernment is also creating a lot of policies in terms of giving certain fringe benefits for organisations creating labour/jobs in rural regions of India.. they are also being supported by development of infrastructure in terms of roads and rails... connecting all the cities to smaller villages and towns thus giving them access to other benefits which developed cities have...\n\nalso govt is taking care in terms of communication...

Well, there is no such thing as a utopia, thus, it's only stating facts that we would have homeless people.  Besides, our society has an economic class system (ever heard of the term middleclass?)  It's good that the government spends money trying to promote .... whatever they are trying to and has obviously failed, at least at the moment.  \n   However, I don't think they should just stop the fundings altogether, but instead they should cut down on those and take care of our national deficit and debts first.  Or, even better, build a better healthcare system ... \n   Now, wouldn't that be grand?

the goverment does, however, a lot of people refuse the help that could fix there situation. For example, there are mental disorders that may lead to someone not being able to find work. There are medicines for these conditions, but the person does not take them, do to unpleasent side effects. It's really hard to stay homeless in America, with all the programs and low income housing, but there is a lot of help for those that "fall through the cracks".

Can't be done.  Human nature is greedy and acquisitive on one hand, and lazy on the other.  I've worked with homeless folks in a couple of large cities, and in the US at least, many of the homeless I've encountered are unemployed by choice -- they don't want to live 'the straight life.'  They don't want to follow directions from a boss; they don't want to get up early in the morning and work all day; temporary help is available to get them back on their feet but they simply choose not to do what it takes.  Some of them admit to making several attempts: getting a place to stay, getting a job, getting decent clothes to wear to work, and then after a few weeks dropping out because they didn't like the lifestyle.\nMany others are unemployable because of mental illness, retardation, or other reasons, and that's a different issue.  But the lazy and character-deficient will create a permanent underclass even if we find a way to take care of the rest.

My brother in law is homeless (by choice because he doesnt want to pay child support).  I know he gets food from the food kitchens but I dont know if they are supported privately or by the government.  I know he gets free medical becaue he was in the hospital for 2 months (liver problems due to alchoholism) and he didnt have to pay a penny. I know when its cold he just stays at shelters which are free (Im not sure who pays that). But basically he gets free food, medical and shelter.  What more should be done for him?\n\nI guess the governemnt give him a free car and pay for his gas.

Once upon a time someone "languaged" the term/ideal socialist into a bad thing and so it has remained. The reality, though, is that some level of socialism needs to be a part of any government if that government is by, for, and of the people. Social programs need to exist. There will always be the lesser, the one forgotten and unable to help themselves, within any group. And that person defines the compassion of the entire group! How we treat them is an indication of who we are. Social programs, and socialism is the group way to care for the ones who fall through the cracks.

Homelessness in and of itself is not a physical or mental disease and therefore is not amenable to medical cures. You might say that homelessness is a social disease which can be remedied or abated through the use of social programs such as homeless shelters and food lines.  \n\nAlso, job training for the homeless can sometimes help the socially disadvantaged learn a skill and lead a more productive life.  \n\nUnfortunately, there is no easy solution to this grave "social illness."  \n\nCheers!

Thanks for asking.  Here's the answer.  The government should never, ever, hand out money, or anything of value for that matter.  The fraud involved in that method is vast.  Make sure the people are getting what it was intended they get (eliminating, for example, the old food stamps for crack barter).  Concentrate hard on eliminating the waste and fraud inherent in the system.  Every dollar you save by eliminating fraud and waste could be used to get these people off welfare (at no additional cost to the taxpayers).  Education, job training, relocation.  Once you have a good system for getting people off welfare, then you can start to install restrictions to "encourage" the less motivated.  You could also clamp down on fraud and waste in other government departments and use that "free" money to get people off of welfare and out of poverty.  Done.  Next problem.
