Shelter the Homeless
Worldwide, it is estimated that there are over 100 million homeless people. On any given day
in the United States, it is believed that at least 800,000 people are homeless, including
approximately 200,000 children. In the United States, homelessness is considered a “revolv
ing door” crisis. That is, although many people find themselves homeless for only short peri
ods of time, each day there are new additions to the legions of the homeless. And, while there
are some who are classified as “chronically” homeless, many more fall into the category of the
^ temporarily homeless. Like many of the conditions which call for the corporal works of mercy,
homelessness is made worse by poverty, physical and mental disabilities, and the lack of
affordable housing and good jobs. However, there is much that can be done to alleviate this
problem, both individually and as a society. Individually, we can volunteer to help at local
homeless shelters, donate money and/or supplies to help keep shelters operating, and make
a personal commitment to treat the homeless with dignity and respect. As a society, we can work to remedy
the factors which lead to and exacerbate homelessness: lack of affordable housing and living wage jobs;
physical and mental disabilities, including substance abuse and alcohol problems; and the lack of good
schools and training programs which help people acquire and retain decent-paying jobs.
Is not this the fast that I have chose? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed go free and that ye break every
yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and
that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? KJV Isaiah 58:6-7
