Hands for the Homeless

YOU can help the homeless and take action! There are plenty of groups in Austin that you can donate your time and talent to.
Some examples are:
Mobile Loaves and Fishes

Green Doors

Front Steps

Don’t be the person that ignores the homeless person you see on the street corner everyday. What you may see as a small gesture can make a tremendous impact for someone else.

Homelessness doesn’t just occur in the United States. It takes place all over the world. It really became prominent internationally after World War 2, seeing as hundreds of families were left displaced and without homes. But, a HUGE factor in international homelessness is the world’s economy. As the global population is increasing, so are are unemployment rates. The United Nations has also declared housing as a right and is hoping to put an end to homelessness internationally by the year 2030. Another organization working to fight against homelessness is DePaul International: Institute of Global Homelessness, based in Chicago. I’ll link their website in the comments, so that you all can check out them and their work.

Hello Facebook! Hands for Homeless is an organization curated by 6 high school students located in Austin, Texas at the Academy for Global Studies at Austin High School. Assigned with homelessness, we were tasked to try to positively change an international issue on a local scale. Stay tuned for updates on how the project went, as well as information on homelessness itself and what you can do to help the problem.
