What to give Homeless people?

Dignity is a human right

We all ask ourselves ... what do Homeless people need?

Everyone deserves the Human Right to housing - BUT the sad reality is over 194,467 Americans will sleep on the street tonight.

Fact. There are not enough shelters and governments ignore the basic human right to shelter and dignity.

552,830 Americans are homeless, with 194,467 sleeping on the street every day (HUD 2018).

18% are chronically homeless (HUD 2018).

The ten states with the highest homeless rates account for 55% of the homeless population - CA, NY, FL, TX, WA, MA, OR, PA, IL, CO.

What do homeless people need?

Blankets and cardboard can Kill

Blankets.
Fact. You can die sleeping under wet blankets. Hypothermia kills.

Cardboard.
Not dignified. Provides some ground insulation (not in the rain) and it is difficult to store and carry.

Tents
Tents are not always suitable in urban environments, take time to setup/packup and city governments do not want permanent structures erected.
