Explanation

Homelessness is the lack of a permanent place for shelter (Nisar, et al., 2019). Homelessness is a huge problem globally. The imbalance between supply and demand especially brings the lack of a permanent place, cost and poor quality housing, among other factors (Ravenhill, 2016). In this project, I will look at the homeless veterans. In this particular group of people, I will analyze the different strategies that can be used to help this vulnerable group and secondly analyze the resources and required the sources of these resources.

Some of the helpful strategies for this particular group include catering for their health concerns. Useful strategies can be done through immunization for the homeless as a preventative measure since they do no primary care (Doshani, et al., 2019). The second one is counseling. Due to their condition, many of the homeless groups suffer from mental health and therefore require counseling to provide encouragement and hope to these people (Conolly, 2018). Similarly, there is a need for coming up with plans to resettle them through various programs. Some of these programs include affordable housing that will be accessible to all and out of cold programs (Padgett, et al., 2016).

Affordable housing requires resources to tackle the issue. Some of the ways that resources can be mobilized to resettle the homeless include donations and partnerships (Eisenberg, 2018). Church donations and community funding are some of the strategies that can be used in donating for the homeless (Martinez, 2018). Through the public sectors partnering with the private sector, funds can be collected for settling these people.
