Why homeless people should be given jobs.

Walking down the street I saw a homeless guy with his dog holding a sign saying “ Im homeless and have diabetes Im hungry, and cold”. He was freezing had no warm clothing it got me thinking that someone should do something and offer the homeless jobs, and its hurtful to see that people walking by and neglecting the homeless people when they ask for help.

Making a change can make a big difference. The governor should help homeless people and offer poor families jobs have them working in gardens to make the environment a better place cause at the same time its helping the homeless , and the world. Some people think that homeless people are just lazy and want everything done for them but that’s not the reason why. People get kicked out of their homes because they loose their jobs or they just cant get a job because they did something in the past that efected their lives. “ I cant even go to my family members because there homeless too”said linda lewis, a woman that’s going throw tuff times. The environment could really use a change and help. The governor should think about offering jobs to those in need cause it will help the earth and global warming.

If the governor makes this change, and help people in need. It will be a good thing cause they get payed minimum wage. Also besides gardening theirs other jobs that they could do like,fast food resturaunts. But they should just take it and start somewhere whitch can lead to a better places. Plus any job is better than nothing,especially when you have a family.They can help pay for shelter, they can save up and buy warm clothes or anything they need that’s imperative. “All this time we’ve been getting so many complaints because of the homeless taking over the parks” said linda lewis. They get food, and shelter and that also helps them. They can buy themselves food if they are allgeric to something that they give at the shelter. Its not fare when theres people out in the world that can make a change and help people in need not do anything about it, its really selfish. They are the ones who are being lazy, and I know that theres people that oppose homeless people and that should change now.

Its good for the homeless if they working at minimum wage jobs because at the same time they get food and shelter , somewhere to sleep, and their safe in a functioning home, shelter to bathe , and keep warm or cool. “Can we reach into disasters and pull out something that will be helpful to homeless people” “I think the answer is YES!” said Philip Mangano, a man that is willing to make a big difference. If the government gives the poor familes help then that’s something really good. At least if someone does make a difference and the homeless gets a job working in the gardens, and living in shelters they are safer than in the streets all day, and night. The government needs to stop making these expensive coops, and make more housing to put these homeless people and their families. They need to built good shelters and not coop for the rich.





These homeless people can have a healthier life.If someone just does something little, and when other people see that is doing good, for poor families, and the environment it will turn into something big, and make a change. A million of people can help out and accomplish something together. I think that everyone can be helpful. Just take one day at a time. Just giving a penny to a homeless person on the street is a good thing. Some people think that if they start giving homeless people money that they will spend the money on drugs, and alcohol that is possible but sometimes you just have to give and not judge anyone, not all homeless people are drugies. The governor should offer more help to those that really want help. Many just don’t want to help themselves. Only those homeless people that really want the help to improve their lifes will take a helping hand.
