Take Action

Five Things You Can Do to END Homelessness

1. Find out what your local shelter needs and donate items.
2. Tutor a homeless child.
3. Donate money to a local shelter, housing or homelessness prevention program.
4. Ask your state legislators to support funding for homelessness and affordable housing programs.
5. Ask your local government what they are doing about affordable housing.

The next list goes a little deeper, even asking that you might need to update your view of who is homeless. Changing minds does change action.

Eight Things You Can Do ABOUT Homelessness

1. Volunteer in a service agency.
2. De-objectify "homeless" people. They are not the homeless but people who do not have a stable place to live.
3. Meet and get to know someone who is without a home.
4. Buy products made or sold by people without housing, such as Real Change newspaper
5. Act politically; write a politician, cast an informed ballot.
6. Educate yourself about what causes the loss of housing, especially in this community.
7. Reflect on your own situation, "Do I have resources to cover my rent or mortgage in the vent of illness, an accident, or the loss of a loved one?"
8. Give a donation to a homeless housing program in your community.
