Using Effective Measures to Combat the Occurrence of Homelessness in the City

Implement effective measures to deal with the incidence of homeless in cities Urban Research Institute estimates that more than 2 million people are experiencing homeless people each year in the United States. Approximately 750,000 people will be forced to sleep on streets, evacuation centers, campgrounds, and cars on every night ("homeless"). Tempe's homeless seems not as serious as the national statistics, but it is still a big problem for the city.

The Bush administration offers $ 528.5 billion to the homeless program (Romeo 1). The problem of homelessness and extreme poverty is not new, but as more and more people have become homeless, more extreme measures have been taken over the past few years to solve this problem. Expensive social programs and housing development projects were developed for homeless people to solve increasing problems. Homeless is an expensive problem that never ends, and furthermore, the status of homeless in the United States

Various types of homeless people are created in their own way. For example, there are temporary, accidental, permanent homeless people. Temporary homelessness is caused by disasters (fire, floods, natural disasters) and expulsion. They may be encountered if they have less income and can not be borrowed in growing cities

Homeless measurements are difficult for homeless people's mobility. Some of the difficulties come from the different ways used to measure homelessness. Some researchers try to count all people homeless on a particular day or week. This is called "point in time" count. Critics say that this approach overestimates the number of people who have been homeless for a long time and may underestimate the number of people who have experienced temporary homelessness. The second way to calculate homelessness is to check the number of homeless at some point, also called "Period prevalence" count. Critics of this approach point out the difficulty of standardized measurement. Other influence factors measuring the homeless fee include the calculation period and the calculation year.
