There are so many ways that you can help homeless people. Think about all of the things that you need during the day: breakfast, lunch and dinner, clothes to wear, school supplies. You can donate all of those things to homeless people, because they need those things too. 

Go to a local homeless shelter with your family or friends and cook a meal for the people there. 

You can also ask your parents to call their Congressman and ask them to support laws that will help end homelessness 

The most important way to help homeless people is to treat them just like you would treat your friends or family. Treat homeless people just like you would want to be treated. 

Ending homelessness is a possibility, and many cities and states are working very hard to try and help people find homes. There are a few ways that these places are able to end homelessness. 

1. They can build homes that do not cost a lot of money to live in. 

2. They can pay people enough money to be able to pay for their house and their food and clothes. 

3. They can teach people how to keep their house and how to pay their bills on time. 

Homeless people do not look any different than you or I. It does not matter what color your skin is, where you live, if you are a boy or a girl, or how old you are. Anyone can be homeless. Homeless people are just like us—they grew up with a mom and dad, brothers, sisters, and friends. Some even went to elementary school just like you and learned some of the same things. 

There are lots of reasons why people are homeless. Most of the time, a person is homeless because they do not have enough money to pay for a home. They might work very hard every day of the week and still not have the money to pay for a place for them to live. Some homeless people have families so they have to take care of their children too and that can cost a lot of money. Some homeless people have a disability so they can’t take care of themselves or work and make money. Some people are homeless just for a little while; others are homeless for a much longer time, maybe even their whole life. 

Most people who live in the United States of America have a home. They live just like we do, in houses or apartments. They have plenty of food to eat and a warm bed to sleep in. But not everybody is like us, some people don’t have homes. These people are homeless. 

When someone is homeless, they might live outside on the streets or in a shelter with lots of other people. They don’t have a place to put all of their belongings so they must carry everything with them in big bags or in a suitcase. Many homeless people do not have enough money for food or new clothes so they are often very hungry.
