Function/Aesthetics
The potential for temporary shelter, in terms of function are limitless and broad. The primary function of temporary shelter is to accommodate for a large quantity of people that have been displaced from their home environment for a small period of time. A primary example of temporary sheltering systems can be seen in disaster recovery.

Semi-Permanent shelter, whilst similar, is defined as a completely different system. Semi-permanent shelter is when accommodation is required for an indefinite period of time, and facilities are implemented to accommodate for these people for extended periods of time. An example of semi-permanent housing shelter is the cathedral in Christchurch, NZ designed by architect Shigeru Ban, which is …show more content…

However, it has not been profitable, because it is used by many non-for profit organisations to provide shelter to those in need. Despite its lack in profit, disaster recovery temporary shelter has been very influential to thousands of people, giving them support and hope in the times that they need it the most.

Similarly, to disaster recovery, temporary shelter has also been very popular for homeless sheltering. Homelessness sheltering has had the same success as disaster recovery, in terms of profit and influential capabilities, because temporary homeless sheltering is issued out by non-for profit organisations whose aim is to assist those in need.

In the housing and caravan sector, temporary sheltering has been more profitable than disaster recovery, because clients must purchase the home in order to live in it.

Bat lady tells Mickey that his father is alive, and Mickey doesn’t know what to think, because presumably he watched his dad die in a car crash.

Housing conditions are comprised of the actual physical infrastructure of the house (whether it is sub-par construction or manufactured housing), homeownership and location/overcrowding. The housing conditions directly reflect what Tierney describes as the “affluence” of the populations, which is the ability to have affordable, well-constructed, self-owned homes. Many people at the lower end of the social class strata are living in poorly made/maintain housing, which they rent, in areas that are prone to disaster. Many of these individuals are unable to afford better housing, transportation, or have the ability to evacuate or prepare for a disaster. Similarly, after a disaster, these populations have a much lower resilience due to their social factors.

The characters in the books Lockwood and Co., by Jonathan Stroud, and Shelter, by Harlan Coben, have many similarities in them, despite being two completely different stories. The protagonist of Lockwood and Co., Lucy Carlyle, and the protagonist of Shelter, Mickey Bolitar, are both very persistent. They both will go to great lengths to do something they put their mind to. For example, on page 86 of Lockwood and Co., Lucy states, “It was my seventh interview in as many days.” On page 3 of Shelter, Mickey narrates, “I walked over to her door and looked for a doorbell.

SHOW CONNECTION Jon Kurht’s article “When helping doesn't help” is a personal narrative discussing Kurht’s experience managing a homeless shelter, and discussing the hardships and complications that come with helping the homeless. Kuhrt notably states that shelters “actually bred further cynicism and depression in those young people because many were ashamed of what they were doing - they knew they were profiting from the naivety and kindness of others.” Logos can be found within the reasoning and conclusions found by Kurht.

The results show that 7 out of the 15 homeless SMOs showed viability with the resources they had. These seven homeless SMOs had a combination of nine resources. These include two moral resources, three out of six material resources, all three informational resources, and all human resources.

Those homeless shelters who are supposed to protect the homeless are unnecessary and costly. PBS SoCal states that a homeless shelter costs “on average, $1800 a month for a one-bedroom apartment.” (PBS SoCal Newshour) Most homeless people do not even have $1800 to begin with, making homeless housing projects a waste of money. Because the homeless could not afford the housing projects or the shelters, they often resort to cheaper options like temporary hotel or motel stays.

Starting in the 1980s, successive governments encouraged local authorities to sell off social housing, which has not been replaced.

Currently I volunteer at a small organization called Neighbors in Need (NiN). This organization is open on Saturday mornings and provides a breakfast, small food offering, toiletries and services such as dental, medical haircuts, and job programs.

It made me question the effectiveness of the organization, if the homeless are offered all these resources why doesn’t this decrease the

Disabled individuals, veterans and families are some of the demographic that is affected by homelessness. Physical ailments such as malnutrition, lack of hygiene, undiagnosed diseases and/or disorders can be detrimental. Mental disorders such as depression can develop due to the harsh circumstances of living on the streets. The lack of support, affordable housing and medical care that homeless individuals are receiving are prime examples of the need for compassionate and dedicated social workers to assist homeless individuals in regaining hope, purpose, and to evoke the strength within themselves.
