World Homeless Day
October 10
World Homeless Day
World Homeless Day is observed every year on October 10. The purpose of this day is to bring to focus the issues of homelessness and inadequate housing. Activists raise awareness on the need to provide opportunities for communities to get involved in responding to homelessness. Contrary to popular belief, homelessness is on the rise. Inflated property rates coupled with poor wages and irregular work opportunities are the reasons why so many people find themselves without homes. In America, homelessness is more common among minority and immigrant populations. While this remains a serious problem worldwide, there are many ways one can help and also urge the government to act accordingly.
