Building a homeless shelter

The choice you are facing is a daunting one. Two options are on the table. You must choose between building a homeless shelter center and building a shopping mall. This is an important decision because New York City has an extremely large homeless population and is also the financial capital of the USA. The decision you make will impact our city. Building a homeless shelter is beneficial for New York City because it will increase jobs opportunities, help the education, and mitigate the crime.

Building a homeless shelter is good for New York City because it will increase jobs. First of all, a homeless shelter can provide an opportunity to work for construction workers. In order to build the shelter, we need to hire many different workers. We need carpenters, engineers, plumbers, electricians, and painters. Currently, the unemployment rate is high. Hiring people to build the shelter is going to lower it. Secondly, there are some homeless people who need help from social workers. They will help with financial solution, drug addicted, family problem, and physical problem. After finishing school, social workers will have chances to find employment working in shelters. Finally, building a homeless shelter will help to give a chance for doctors and nurses to work. Homeless people need medical attention, so doctors and nurses could offer their services. A homeless shelter is another place that doctors and nurses can get jobs. A homeless shelter provides many different jobs to many different people.

Building a homeless shelter is good for New York City because it will help homeless people to get an education. First of all, a homeless shelter can provide reading and writing classes. Homeless children have inadequate reading and writing skills. Teaching reading and writing to homeless people will decrease the number of illiterate people in the city. And it significant for the city since so many people has a problem with reading and writing skills. This in turn will make the city more pleasant. Secondly, homeless people can learn also job skills. Job skills will help homeless people to get a job. And it will beneficial for the city to mitigate the unemployment rate. Finally, a homeless shelter also provides a financial education. A financial education is a big issue since so many people don’t have self control to manage their money. People don’t know how to spend money correctly. People are using too much credit card for shopping, buy a brand bags, an expensive clothes. And the end of the month they start to be mad because they can’t pay the credit card bills. A financial education makes homeless people be able to manage their financial problem. In addition, a financial education helps homeless people to be wise to using money. Good financial management will be beneficial the city because people know how to manage their finances. This in turn will suppress the growing number of homeless people. A homeless shelter provides an education to many different aspects of live.

Building a homeless shelter is good for New York City because it will mitigate crime. First of all, robbery in city is at a high level. The number of robberies is an indication that crime is on the rise. Homeless people become suspects of robbery. Some homeless people stay in the subway, some of them on the streets. Many homeless people stealing food in the food store. Because they don’t have food to eat, they want to commit robbery. Building a homeless shelter will give a place for homeless people to live and foods to eat. It will benefit the city by lowering the robbery rate and cleaning the streets. Secondly, homeless people are always using drugs. When homeless people feel hopeless they start using drugs in order to feel better. The effect of using drugs is dangerous. Homeless people will commit crimes. Survey said the number people in jail are because they are using drugs before they commit crimes. With a homeless shelter, they won’t feel hopeless; they will get help instead using drugs to calm themselves. It will be beneficial for the city to reduce people using drugs. In addition, the city will have a good environment without drugs and healthy lives. Finally, many homeless people have mental illnesses, when they are on the street, they might commit crimes by killing someone because of their mental problems. Building a homeless shelter will remove homeless people from the street and in homeless shelter they will also get a health care. Building a homeless shelter will be beneficial for the city by mitigating crime.
