Coping With Being Homelessness In Georgia

By Ann Sullivan


Each person has his or her definition of homelessness. To some, it means lack of a roof for yourself or your family. To some, it is not having the basic human commodities necessary for human survival. But even with all those definitions, nobody would wish to be Homelessness in Georgia.

The biggest contributor to vagrancy is poverty. The high standards of living and the ever-fluctuating economy drive many people to lose their homes due to mortgages or being unable to sustain themselves and their families. For others, they are born into homelessness, and to them, that is the life they live to know.

There are numerous impacts of vagrancy on an individual, a family and even the society in which they live in. Health problems, incapacity to maintain employment, separation in families and other reasons are the main course that leads to many being homeless. Not only does vagrancy affect those living in it but it also affects those around them and generations after them.

As it is with human nature, most homeless people want to work and be self reliant. But there are numerous blocks towards achieving their goals. To some, it is the lack of proper education. To others, it is just the stigma of being some social outcast. This leaves their dreams shattered and their hope dissipated. With time, they give up and start living life as it comes turning to drugs or crime to handle life.

In trying to curb the issue of vagrancy, societies have brought about shelters for the homeless. To some, it is a sign of hope, but to most, it is just a roof over their heads. What would be beneficial to them would be offering medical care, clothing, food and other commodities in these shelters. Also offering rehabilitation and counseling services for those who were once either in a life of drugs or crime would be a huge milestone in curbing this issue of vagrancy.

Also, many accommodations are overcrowded, and this creates hardship in this shelters. This often happens because people without shelters may have to fill their quotas to get support. And to fill their shares some of these abilities, by necessity, will have people staying there at any given time. This leads to a shortage of supplies and even the most basic commodities like water, food, and clothing become a thing to wish for.

When these homes are full, security issues tends to evolve. Those living there will often fight just to get the right ratios. Many homes are both dirty and dangerous. Health standards do not matter to them. Lice run rampant. Tuberculosis is the norm to them due to the overcrowd. Standardized safety and health decision are desperately required because anyone who comes for help at this homes is risking their health and well-being.

However, there are those in the community who refuse to give up on the less fortunate and the homeless in the society. They have taken it upon themselves to see that they can help out in any way possible and bring these people back to their feet so that they can be self-dependent once again.
