Homelessness

What issue does Dave discover?

Homelessness

How do people become homeless?

Mental illness, domestic violence (mainly towards women), lost their job, gambling, drugs

What are their lives like?

Rough sleepers – (no bed), hopeless, trapped, violence, bashed, desperate

Who is helping these people?

Salvation Army – ‘Mission Beat’

How does Dave’s experience ‘shed light’ or raise awareness to the issue?

Before this video, much of our class didn’t know much about homelessness. We now know that they feel scared, embarrassed, tired, hungry and could have gambling issues.
