Sir: Many people in this country are homeless and are facing hardship and poverty. Majorities are belongs to families where only one is earning hand with several children to support.

Homeless people, no matter the age, are three times more likely to die from illnesses. All these poor are prime victim of viral and other transferable diseases. Even those who have some kinds of shelter but these shelters are always without proper ventilation and lights. Homeless people get similar illnesses as normal people that live in homes but their chances of get diseases are three to six times higher. Those lucky enough to live in shelters are more likely to get illnesses.

As you can see helping homeless is not an option, it is something that needs to be fixed. I know that we can’t get rid of homelessness for good, but there are many ways that it can be solve
