The Crisis
Scope of the problem
The issue of homeless people throughout USA, and in particular Houston, is an enormous problem.
According to the Coalition for the Homeless, a count of the number of homeless people was conducted January 19, 2021. This revealed that there were 3,055 people living without homes in Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties compared to 3,974 people in 2020. About half of them were living in shelters (1,545) and the other half (1,510) were living without shelter.
Knowing and caring empowers us to help make the lives of our homeless neighbors better. We do this through simple acts of kindness. We cannot do everything, but we can do something.
Knowing our homeless neighbors opens our eyes and hearts to their joys and sorrows.
Knowing who our homeless neighbors are and what factors contribute to homelessness reminds us that we are all people, we should all have dignity, and we all deserve respect.
