Research Paper-
Everyone faces challenges in their lives. For some the challenge is having a roof over their head (Alowaimer, 2018, p.1). The people you see in the streets are not the only ones that are considered homeless but families, children, elderly, and youth that don’t have the resources to reside somewhere permanently. People don’t choose to live this way “Therefore, it is known that homelessness is the biggest social problem which the whole world faces in the twenty-first century” (Alowaimer, 2018, p.1). What is the problem of homelessness in CT, and what are the factors that contribute to homelessness. In Connecticut the total homeless population is 2,905 (New Non-Congregate Shelter Guidance, N/D). Households experiencing homelessness is- 306, veterans experiencing homelessness is- 199, people experiencing chronic homelessness is- 177 (New Non-Congregate Shelter Guidance, N/D). Chronic homelessness- is used to describe people who have experienced homelessness for at least a year, while struggling with a disabling condition like mental illness, substance use disorder, or physical disability. Young adults (ages 18-24) experiencing homelessness is- 148 (New Non-Congregate Shelter Guidance, N/D). The total homelessness is set aside from the total number of homeless students in Connecticut which is 4,722 (New Non-Congregate Shelter Guidance, N/D).
This research connects to my capstone project because all of the people that live in the South Park Inn homeless shelter are going through this challenge. Knowing this information can help me figure out more ways to help them get what they need so they can have better opportunities in life. This research shows that my capstone project is important because homelessness is a big problem that I am trying to help make better for the people that are experiencing it. Knowing these statistics helps me know how big the problem is in my community and help me know why and how people become homeless.
