In order to receive the best healthcare available to you, it’s important to know which facility can best assist you. Urgent care centers are equipped to treat patients for cuts, sprains, broken bones, headaches, cold and flu symptoms, mild to moderate abdominal pain and ear aches just to name a few. In the situation that your emergency may be more severe than you thought, the center will have you transported to your local emergency room. Most emergency rooms are equipped to handle true emergencies which include car accidents, falls, chest pains, strokes, assaults, head injuries, pregnancy complications, and severe abdominal pain. Small town hospitals are not always equipped to assist you with severe traumas, at which point the patient is flown out to an appropriate medical facility. Knowing what your local healthcare centers are equipped to handle before an accident or illness occurs is the first step in saving valuable time and sometimes lifesaving minutes…

Familial poverty is an exponential issue in our community, many factors contribute to poverty and many more concerning familial poverty. In the Denver Metro Homeless Initiative's most recent observational study, information indicates that a large percentage, two-hundred and twenty four out of three-hundred and forty households with children are homeless. While there are government programs to assist underprivileged and impoverished families such as welfare, food stamps, free and reduced lunch for children, and many more; on a situational basis, these programs do not always insure financial security. While there is an effort to assist those in need, many believe that these efforts are menial and are truly making no difference. Some institutions…
Did you know that between 2.3 and 3.5 million people experience homelessness? About 1.5 million American children are homeless every year (Facts and Figures: The Homeless). That is a lot of people once you think about it. These are everyday people who have hit a bump in the road and no longer have a house to call theirs. These people have to sleep on the streets, in alleyways, anywhere that they can get a place to lie down. They go through the everyday struggle of whether or not they will have food to eat, drinks to stay hydrated, clean clothes to wear, and a place to rest.…
But, the definition of homelessness has not be agreed upon, McKinney defined it as a person who ‘lacks fixed, regular, and adequate night-time residence’. In fact many believe that the idea of homelessness is an embarrassment because the United States is such an affluent society. Though this embarrassment can be solved by providing affordable housing because many people become homeless due to cheap apartment buildings becoming high priced living spaces. Also, providing jobs and education will help because some people are homeless due to losing their source of income. Another, instance that would is to provide mental health services because many people whom are without a home are the mentally ill. The reason for this is that many who suffer with these types of illnesses are not able to hold a job and many also do not have families that are willing to take care of them. However, there are groups such as 1212 Corporation, Better Homes of Seaford, Inc., and Homeless Planning…
Due to the uniqueness of each family or client and the recent affordable housing crisis, it is hard to provide appropriate choices for them. Families either remain longer in transitional services (i.e. shelters) or they secure housing though it is not their best option.…

Homelessness continues to be a large urban…
Homelessness results from different things that can make people have to make the decision between food, clothing, shelter and other needs. Some people are homeless and it's nothing they could possibly do about it. The government must form more affordable housings, to support the people that are just unable to work, and get better wages. These things could put an end to homelessness in our country.The American people are willing to help, we must come together as one to end homelessness for our…
All across America there are many families without homes and even in Bowling Green there are homeless individuals and families The Daily News mentions, that Warren County is the 7th county in Kentucky for the amount of homeless people per capita. Rhodell Miller, Executive Director for Hotel Inc., stated that even couch surfers are considered to be homeless and anyone without a permanent residence. A good reason that Miller gave that lead someone to become homeless is because of the lack affordable housing in our area. The policies and procedures of income based housing just takes too long and most people are looking for housing immediately. Another big cause to homelessness that there isn’t a lot of housing that anyone can afford on just a minimum wage job. It is really surprising in the documentary Tent City, USA, that there is a lot of women living on the streets because it is better than staying in their abusive relationships. One women told her story and she said that she had a nice house, a big…
