Homelessness

Homelessness

According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, it defines homelessness as "When many people think of homelessness, they think of people living in the outdoors or on the streets or simply those without a house to live in. The reality is that homelessness is far more complex. People are considered homeless if they do not have; an adequate dwelling, a secure tenure, control of, access to or space for social relations." Homelessness people are a global issue, and all of us, as a responsible society do something about it. It is known that in some countries they pay their taxes and those taxes go to these people who really need it. And that is an important contribution.

Causes and effects

For many people being homeless can mean time spent sleeping rough, living in hostels and/or moving between different types of accommodation. It also can mean not having a family, not having a "life" and this can be defined as a lack of love. That is why being homeless is considered as a state of mind because you are excluded from the society you used to live in or the society you used to belong to.

We have to think about all the people going through this situation, just try to imagine yourself in the streets begging for money and every day of your life thinking about what you used to be.
