# Homelessness

Here is where learning and research related to homelessness can take place.

## Research and discussion questions

* How can homelessness be reduced?
* What are the best methods of reducing homelessness?
* What could be done to reduce housing costs?
       Perhaps zoning that encourages lower construction costs, and small more affordable homes may help to lower housing costs.

## Position statements

* Argument Local governments and residents should contribute more to the homeless to get them back on their feet. Short term housing is a critical factor that local governments and charities can help with providing more options and room for the homeless. With introducing a new program for housing, this can help reduce homelessness. Additionally, some homeless are stuck in a loop of health or legal issues and they should be prioritized to have primary care access. With their struggles, it is difficult for the homeless to obtain a job because of their status. A list of companies whose wages are low, should be provided to the homeless so they have a better chance at landing a job.
