Our group (#4) was assigned the city of Los Angeles for our City Presentation regarding homelessness and the services they offer in serving this population.
- We will start the presentation with statistical information/analysis regarding the homeless population of LA, their safety issues, what problems might arise in trying to reach the population and any coalitions that are servicing the group.
- We will then talk about the issues of:
- Financial status, employment and lack of services and job opportunities for the homeless and those considered to be in poverty.
- Without proper financial security, we will then talk about the housing issues that homeless and poor people come across in their daily lives. We will also present the agencies that support this population and the many services/resources available to them, and also any services pertaining to housing that the city of LA could improve and include.
- Next, we will discuss the issue of food as a basic human need and how the population is being serviced and/or under-serviced. We will present the resources such as food pantries, soup kitchens and any other community offerings for the homeless and any other person who may be suffering a shortage of food.
- Lastly, we will discuss the issues of medical care that the homeless and poor suffer from. We will present information of the services/coalitions that are offered for this population.
We hope to accomplish presenting up to date information regarding the homeless and poor population of the city of Los Angeles. To educate our fellow classmates in the many services that the city offers to those in need and if any issues that the city is overlooking and can improve upon to help take care of this population.
