On our interactive blog, Home Page, brainstorm some of the causes for homelessness in Winnipeg and Canada. Where do the homeless go for help? What are some of their most basic needs?
Tonight it is a cold, winter night and the temperature is about -25 degrees Celsius. Where will the homeless sleep? Where can they go to be safe and warm? Are there enough beds in homeless shelters?
What are some government agencies and non-profit organizations that help the homeless? What are some barriers that the homeless face to access support and help?
Post your thoughts, comments and information. I look forward to our learning together. We'll connect our posts to our in-class discussion the next time our class meets.
