When a homeless man goes in for a job interview, he will feel as if he does not have a shot, due to not having the proper knowledge. His background will not be able to support him, and if he does not have a place to call ‘home’, how would the company be able to make sure he will show up every day, and how he would get there? Society should be helping the homeless out and giving them the knowledge they need, so they can get back on their feet.

Most mayors and leaders of cities are aware of the homeless communities and give them a “heads-up” about needing to vacate the premises.

Opportunities for the homeless are also hard to come by due to their reputation, being on the streets overall makes their journey to a better future harder. To have a job they must have a place to live and ways for the company to contact them. For this to happen, the homeless need an affordable place to live.
