How to solve the problem of the homelessness people?


Homelessness is a solvable problem. Yet there is an enormous gap between what we know works to end homelessness and what is actually done in most places.
 Community Solutions' purpose is to strengthen communities through the process of ending homelessness. We provide a platform, data, tools, best practices and encouragement to assist communities in closing the knowledge to practice.

We learned from our conversations with men and women living on the street that most were extensive users of government and not-for-profit services intended to help them. They repeatedly fell between the cracks, however, because the services themselves were not connected.


We heard again and again how someone had entered the hospital for treatment, or a program for alcohol detox and been discharged back to the street, only to go through the process again within months.
Though their health issues were directly related to their living conditions, the hospitals and treatment programs were not linked to housing, so they became sicker and sicker. We also discovered that many were trapped in homelessness because of the extensive and unrealistic requirements of institutions, such as needing a copy of their birth certificate or that they show proof of income or good credit in order to qualify for housing -- an unlikely prospect for someone living on the streets for months or years.

The solution to homelessness is simple:
 We all need a stable home, supportive relationships, access to good quality health and mental health care and a way of supporting ourselves and contributing to our communities. These pieces come together for most of us in ecuador  and other  countries, and when they don't, most of us can rely on a family member or friend to help us deal with the economic disruption of an illness, lost job, relationship breakdown or the paperwork requirements of the institutions and government agencies whose assistance we need.
Look around to see who is without those supports, however, and you understand who is most likely to become homeless. Thus, the solution to homelessness is for communities to help those without their own effective networks to knit together the pieces of a stable and purposeful life.
