The Street People
Not all persons who roam the streets are homeless and not all homeless people roam the streets;
Whatever are the circumstances which result in a person living on the streets, whether it is by unfortunate situation behind one control or whether it is by choice this homeless situation must be taken into deep consideration and be addressed as a matter of humanitarian importance and that is why within my opinion governments should set up a task force which can look into and examine the matter of the homeless / street people on a case by case basis.
By doing so they would search and find out the status and families of each homeless person, then they would be able to determine which persons can be re-united with family members who are willing to take such responsibility and whoever aren't able to be re-united with family can be placed into government operated homes or place into the care of associated private organizations which also operate homes which can facilitate these homeless / street people.
So many times the homeless persons suffer abuse of all sorts, verbal and physical because society fail miserably to understand another persons unfortunate situation.
Many among us will consider our homeless / street people as nuisance simply because of the lack of love and tolerance toward our fellow human who continue to share with us this same space on earth but find themselves in a position which is often laughed and rejected by wider society.
Each person within a society is of great importance and for any country to grow and prosper its people must be invested in and health and education are two important areas to start such investments whether such persons are homeless or otherwise; in keeping with the charitable act of humanity governments should provide homes for the homeless / street people who live and roam the streets.
