Quick Facts- Homelessness in Los Angeles and Beyond


Here are some quick facts of the homelessness in Los Angeles and beyond:

-          Homelessness rises as the economy grows worse, and people are forced to live on streets. They rapidly develop mental illnesses as they are alone, wandering in the streets and eating others' left over trash. Shelters help them realize that they are always human and, thus, still have dignity.
-          Children in Uganda are abducted, overnight, and recruited to “fight the war” for the Rebels. They rarely come back.
-          People in Africa have to look for supplies, such as food, water, and other necessities to counter diseases, attacks and starvation.  There is nothing for them to do except continue their fight for survival.
