Homelessness

The HHS is the main institution for the US government to protect the health of all Americans and in particular to support the provision of basic human services for the most selfless person. Therefore, the activity of the department involves providing treatment and service to the homeless. Adjusting these services within the department and coordination by federal partners by providing housing and supplementary service plans is an important element to achieve the goal of ending and preventing homelessness.

The US Homeless Inter-Organization Committee (USICH) cooperates with 19 federal agencies, state and local governments, supporters, service providers, and homelesses to coordinate the federal response to homelessness. To prevent and end the homeless, achieve the goal outlined in the first Federal Strategic Plan to go home together

Homeless is a complex phenomenon. According to the United States Homeless Country: 2016 Nationwide Homeless Alliance, one night in January 2015, 564,708 people were calculated to be homeless. Many of them live in streets, emergency evacuation centers or temporary residences. The definition of homelessness in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development includes people living in places not suitable for human residence and those who are losing the main nighttime residence or trying to escape domestic violence. Others are "sofa surfing" or double with family and friends. There are more salaries and medical crises - away from home

Who is the population of our homeless people? Some homeless people make their entire family homeless, because they lose their jobs and homes at economically difficult times. It is also a victim of domestic violence; people with physical or mental illness; people who are addicted to drugs and alcoholism; children are involved in the transition from youth to adults, others are financially Persons who have exhausted resources

People who work in the homeless department often say "experienced homeless people" rather than homeless or homeless people. This is because for most people homeless is not life - long sentence but experience (usually short term). "To experience homelessness" is the first step to change the concept of homelessness and to recognize that person is facing the situation. The federal government is currently undergoing federal reform process. This will address federal and state / local government responsibilities for many issues including homelessness and housing. Early signs suggest that the government totally withdraws homeless funds (and most families) and pays state / region and charity
