Their aren’t many places they can go but if there is place that person probably couldn’t meet all the requirements.

7.  How could we try to prevent the drastic increase on homelessness that is uprising?

In Seattle they provide not just meals and health care but housing, jobs and education. Also a program called Wings Of Hope they help women get on their feet and help them with finding housing and job as well.  One particular women was blessed and received a two bedroom apartment for her and her children. So why not try to help doing the same thing in Cincinnati by tackling the root.
