goody here so based upon the pictures
behind me you have homeless people
living out our baskets pushing baskets
around everything they own and you also
have a single mother with your two
children with nowhere to go
how many of you when you see homeless
people wandering the streets or loiter
in the under freeway sometimes have
negative thoughts my show hands
this are charts from surveys done by
study over Iran turkey ages from college
students telemetry students to
full-grown adults they think homeless
people are poor unhappy lonely and that
the causes of their homelessness are
doing the family problems joblessness
alcohol now just like you guys I was one
of those people that had those negative
thoughts about homeless people I had a
tendency to look away when a homeless
person approached me or when I’m driving
in the car I have the tendency to roll
up the window when they approach me and
look away like I didn’t see them I’m
just as even as you guys and so are they
my name is Kiera Dixon and I’m here to
tell you that status does not measure
our work
I chose this topic to show how I changed
my perspective on homelessness by
holding a homeless person transition
into society from destitution
homelessness is not just an isolated
social evil it is the catalyst and the
green ground for others problems such as
family breakups stress unemployment and
alcoholism
– the five homelessness or homeless
it’s a characterization of a person
without a home or typically living on
the streets while destitution also can
we use to describe a homeless person but
it means poverty so extreme that one
lacks the means to believe in oneself
there’s an obvious difference between
the two homeless is an adjective used to
describe a person’s living what
institution is a state of being
something that they cannot overcome or
it’s something
that was not caused due to their
accidents which is something that just
happened throughout our research and
helping a homeless person transition
into society I found four key things
that I feel that everyone needs in order
to be independent and live the stable in
society one is obvious money management
everyone needs to know how to manage
money everyone needs to know how to put
up for a rainy day
just in case things happen but sometimes
these destitute individuals we’re never
taught these money management skills so
it makes it hard for them to grooming
and housekeeping needs these are those
hygienic needs homeless people don’t
have a place to go or they tend to let
their hectic needs fall below what we
call us socially acceptable they don’t
know how to properly groom themselves to
get ready for interviews and job
opportunities and I feel that if a
homeless person or a destitute
individual was taught the basic needs of
high genic
personal care that it would be easier in
their transition also personal
interpersonal skills is also a really
important skill that I feel is necessary
in order to Tracy
to society now what I mean by
interpersonal skills
I mean basic skills that people use on
an everyday basis those skills that you
use to interact with your friends the
skills you use to interact with your
boss your family destitute or home this
individual is subtypes and lacking
social skills but teaching them how to
correctly approach a person or their
boss or coworker can help them in their
transition finally the last necessary
skill that though is very important in
helping a homeless person transition
into their society are knowing social
norms what is and what is not socially
acceptable it’s not acceptable for them
to go into a public restroom to take
showers in the sea we know that that
shouldn’t happen and we know that they
should can go and do these certain
things but sometimes they don’t realize
that this isn’t socially acceptable
without these key things homeless people
struggle with mental illness family
abandonment unemployment as well as
habits including alcohol and drug abuse
and user mentality and bagpiping
those pictures from the beginning those
homeless people push it around
everything they carry in a basket that’s
what I mean by bag packing they learn
and acquire it and adapt is carrying
everything around
that has become a habit that they can’t
break but there are so many places
around he said that are dedicated to
helping the homeless some include
start.home Richard just located downtown
dolly they have a women and children
transition Center as well as a male
transition Center we also have the
Coalition for the homeless which is a
huge organization dedicated to homeless
programs dedicated to helping them in
these necessary skills and able to
transition into society we also have the
HPD homeless outreach program right here
in Houston which is a specific
department inside the Houston Police
Department dedicated to helping the
homeless by solving their crimes against
the homeless or crimes committed by the
homeless as well as helping them during
the a winter storm or helping them find
children throw this journey I’ve
discovered so much I discovered that
there was really there was a lot of
difficulty finding research about
homeless people because the information
was not as credible as I thought it
would be there were opinions from gloves
and personal experience rather than
actual stats because that’s we’re
constantly changing status has changed
back from now an excellent 1970s
homelessness has grown but in this
journey ahead Terry and she helped me
discover something about myself
I meant area three years ago my
sophomore year and she was a homeless
person and I met her through my
grandmother who works for texas home
health which is a nursing which is a
nursing program that helps with um who
help provide providers for an elderly
folks and she was currently employed by
texas home health but she didn’t have a
job she didn’t have a place to stay
while working here and when meeting her
it made me realize that it doesn’t have
to be someone who know or someone you’re
personally connected to in order to help
a homeless person i hadn´t know her
personally I didn’t know her story I
didn’t know what happened to her but she
took the time to get to know me and to
let me get to know her so that I could
that’s actually a future for them um so
that I can actually learn from their
point of view she helped me realize that
homeless people are people too they’re
just people who need a break
they’re just people who want to be seen
as regular individuals they don’t want
to be treated like trash beneath our
feet they don’t want us to look at them
like they’re anything less than human a
simple smile or a wave even sane
hi are you Dillon I don’t have any
change today but god bless you Houston
get out my today because you’re
acknowledging them as a person and
you’re not ignoring them like they don’t
exist
directors journey I learned that I
actually humanized other people and in
doing this
we’re not dehumanizing them only but
we’re also dehumanizing ourselves
because we are created individuals who
do not care or do not think about the
impact of our actions upon other people
so I’m asking you to treat people and
homeless individuals as you would treat
your son your daughter your mother your
father or even a complete stranger but
treat them as you would want to be
treated as human thank
behind me you have homeless people
living out our baskets pushing baskets
around everything they own and you also
have a single mother with your two
children with nowhere to go
