Homeless: How It Could Happen To You
With this project I would like to show the student body of the University of Southern Indiana the pitfalls and precursors that appear prior to becoming homeless. There have to be some common situations that show themselves prior to loosing one's home. I would like to show a few of the common situations and how to avoid them.
At any given time there are around 400 homeless people in the Evansville Area. There are also thousands of families on the edge of homelessness in the tri-state area. Close to twenty percent of Evansville's homeless are veterans. Most of the homeless population in Evansville are receiving assistance from one of our many area support agencies. There are forty to fifty unassisted homeless individuals living in the area on any given night, living in places that are not intended for human habitation.
I intend to interview a few homeless families from our local area, listen to thier stories, and tryto give a brief summary of how the American dream left them behind. I am going to use Aurora Inc. a local Evansville non-profit agency who assists the homeless, to link up with the homeless families and individuals for interview purposes and talk to the foundation employees about what is being done to help the families. I am going to see what the University of Southern Indiana community can do to help Aurora Inc. to accomplish thier goals.
