Homelessness is a fundamental factor that should be addressed

Homelessness is a fundamental factor that should be addressed so that the families in the streets would be well covered from the wrath in the street. The government should support them through the provision of shelter since they are among the vulnerable people in the community so that they can enjoy vulnerability privileges like other less fortunate groups (Bassuk, Richard, & Tsertsvadze,2015). The homeless get attacked with diseases easily since they are exposed to agents that are causing the diseases. The homeless community suffers a lot mentally since they have worries about what will happen the following day. The mental disturbance should be taken with kindness through the provision of basic needs that will boost their lives and have a better living (Pribish, Khalil, Mhaskar, et al.,2019). Therefore, the homeless community should be regarded as any other vulnerable community by the government and get scheduled for the benefits that other, less fortunate communities get.
