Christ house is an organization that empowers, heals spiritually, physically, and mentally, and providing clients with medical assistance in areas of their lives that needs stabilizing. Their demographics target the Washington, DC area, and clients are adult males who are predominately African–Americans. Their main goal is to provide health care to those who are sick and homeless, and addressing issues in order to break the cycle of homelessness.

The non-profit organization, Friends of Homeless Animals Inc. (FOHA) officially started in Rhode Island in August of 2007. Roie Greigo, the founder and President of FOHA, founded the organization.

My job is to take care of those pesky errands that tend to ruin the weekend, make sure that the household runs smoothly, and keep the kids going to all of their activities. I took up building and refurbishing furniture and we even decided to host a small group from our church every other Friday. Things were going well and all of the gears and cranks that help run this family were moving in perfect timing, like the insides of the Big Ben Clock Tower.

One way of helping the homeless is by volunteering at your local homeless shelter. Volunteering is a very beneficial way of helping the homeless. “The most productive way to get started helping the homeless is to join forces with a well-established operation.” (“4 Ways You Can Help the Homeless in Your Community”) As said in the quote, join forces with a well-established operation. When you volunteer at your local homeless shelter you are not only helping your community out, but you are also helping the homeless in and around that area. “Volunteer your hobbies - Every one of us has something we can give the homeless. Wherever our interests may lie -- cooking, repairing, gardening, and photography -- we can use

When I first walked into the event it was actually like a breath of fresh air. There were people laughing and screaming and running. I wanted to join immediately.

When I help my grandma and the neighbors I help with things around the house, babysit, and do yard work. Babysitting isn’t exactly my favorite thing, but I do it to help out. Most of the things I do I don’t mind doing. I love helping out.

Homelessness is occurring more often in the poor economy, but there are several states in America attempting to rectify this. Recently there have been plenty of articles written on this subject, one article is “Tiny homes for the homeless: an affordable solution catches on” which was written in 2014 by a freelance writer named Erica Lundahl. Another article on ending homelessness was written by Business Insider columnist, Natasha Bertrand, entitled “Utah found a brilliantly effective solution for homelessness”. Although, both articles contain useful facts on why building homes for the homeless is effective, “Tiny homes for the homeless: an affordable solution catches on” is superior because the article states a wide range of information.

This reading focuses around the life and unfortunate circumstances of a woman named Sandy. Sandy is a single mother that is faced with the increasing cost of living in her neighborhood, which has forced her to seek out other places for her and her children to live. In the reading, Sandy looks for a place that is closer to where she works, and is in a good neighborhood for her two children. Unfortunately, she begins to realize that with her income, these demands were not easily met. The homes close to where she worked were way too expensive, and the homes in her price range were way too far away from her work. So Sandy was placed in a predicament which forced her to buy a home that was farther away from work, and smaller than she expected. She
