Los Angeles County's homeless population has soared 23% over last year despite increasing success in placing people in housing, according to the latest annual count released Wednesday. The sharp rise, to nearly 58,000, suggested that the pathway into homelessness continues to outpace intensifying efforts that — through rent subsidies, new construction, outreach and support services — got more than 14,000 people permanently off the streets last year. "Staggering," Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said in a statement. "It is clear that if we are going to end the homeless crisis, we need to stem the overwhelming tide of people falling into homelessness."

This story hits too close to home for me, being that I was homeless for about a year. My wife and I met and got married while we were both homeless 6 years ago, we lost all the possessions that we had before finding ourselves in our displaced condition. One of the first things you make a priority to get when you become homeless is a backpack. I already had my backpack when I met my wife, who was newly homeless, and I helped her find a backpack. Many of the places that help with food, shelter, and clothing, give you copious amounts of information in the process.
The community can help in multiple ways. They can help by doing fundraisers to help make shelters, donating items, and even by giving them respect. Everyone should receive respect because everyone is human and they should receive it without asking for it. Shelters would be a wonderful decision because the homeless will have a place to stay warm and have a place that gives them the necessities they need. If the community doesn’t have money to build shelter they can always do donation and donate clothes, blankets, toys, and even hygiene items to help them out.
Homeless is not a word that just fits one type of person. From people living on street corners to people living with multiple different family members, all of these people are all considered homeless. Out of the millions of people living on the street around America, there are 1.6 million teenagers who have been disowned or ran away and are now in a position where they must provide for themselves, find a place to live and earn a living. Many of theses teenagers have been forced on the street for choices they have made that caused their parents or guardians to withdraw support and love from them leaving them with the choice to live in a home of neglect or abuse or runaway. Providing for themselves at a young age can cause many problems and make teenagers turn to a variety of unreliable sources and substances to help them survive these mentally and physically draining times.

While these people are sitting on the street, they experience numerous things such as abuse from other people, drugs, unemployment or not able to find a job, etc. Everyday when people drive or walk by someone thats is homeless, glancing at their sign reading what it says to make them feel sad for them. However, by doing something small for them makes an impact in someone else’s eyes.
Since 2016 of last year more and more people are being found homeless out in the streets and in front of places sleeping out in the cold with very little protection. The last numbers reported by the Kern County Homeless Collaborative's were 1,067 people. The numbers only rise rather than decrease, but they've been steady lately not raising or decreasing. Homeless shelters are getting filled up and they don't get enough supplies to feed or take care of everyone. So, what is it we can do to help and make it easier for the homeless shelters?
While reading this I couldn't stop thinking how no homeless person deserves to be on the street. No one knows their story if they don't ask. Some could have been very wealthy and lost their job, teenagers could have suffered abuse, or some could have been shunned from their family, but the fact is no one truly knows not unless we take an interest in these people. They are people after all, just like any other person who has a home. We need to help these hurt people.
People should not just give the homeless the silent treatment and keep on walking like nothing is wrong. In order for the homeless problem to stop, we “the people” must make it end by helping the less fortunate get to shelters or to some other source of help. The major problems of homelessness
