Homelessness is a problem all around the world but I see it daily in Wake County, from people on the streets to people asking for money at the grocery store.The issue I have chosen is about homelessness in Wake County. This relates to our community because I see it every day from kids at school not coming home to a house to people on the streets.The biggest problem is housing, this is also the biggest factor of homelessness. So far our community has been trying to solve this problem by creating more resources for people to get jobs to be able to afford a house. Some people even live in shelters that Wake County provides but they can't live there forever. I am personally interested in this issue because I love helping others and it makes me happy. I also see this issue a problem in my community and everyday in school and public places. Myself and others in my community are affected by this issue because we see these problems everyday such as people living in tents and people begging for money at intersections. Others should care about this problem because it affects the way our community and county is reflected over the other communities in the world. To help with this issue an idea that I had was to volunteer at an organization such as Habitat for Humanity. Also we could make more resources for the homeless to get jobs to be able to afford a house in Wake County. This is an issue that I see in my community everyday.

I love how you put in your own examples of how you see homelessness everyday, it makes this issue feel that much more important. I agree with you on how homeless people need to be helped more and I hope we can do a lot more to help with it.

I think you did a great job elaborating on ways you see homelessness in Wake County everyday. I wish you explain more on what Habitat for Humanity was about and what we would do with it for those who don't know what it is.

You explained very well about how and where you see homelessness in this area. I agree that more jobs would help a lot so people could purchase a home so they would be sheltered. I really like how you worded everything in this posted.
