Homelessness in the United States
explanatory Essay
946 words
The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of poverty on young children and their families. The focus will be on homelessness and how the child is affected in two major settings: the home, or lack of, and school. In both of these settings, children are impacted by different social forces and must push through barriers that are set before them given their circumstance. “Living without permanent, long-term housing creates a number of stressors for children and families, but being homeless can be particularly detrimental to the healthy development of young children” (McCoy-Roth, Mackintosh, & Murphey, 2012). “Homeless families with very young children are one of the fastest growing segments of homelessness. This period in the life cycle is recognized as the most formative and fragile time for children and families” (Swick, 2010).

The Federal Poverty Guideline for a family of four in 2012 was $23,550 a year (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2014), when the poverty line is this low it makes it impossible for families to climb out of poverty and many end up either on the streets or torn apart due to the regulations on shelters. During one of the multi-cultural events I attended this semester, I got to speak to a Maya Graham, who works for the Urban Ministry in Uptown. Maya said that services are available to families as long as their children are enrolled in Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools, but that many families are unfortunately broken apart due to the single gender shelters we ha...

- Essay On Childhood Homelessnessexplanatory essayI chose to research childhood homelessness, and how it impacts early educational and cognitive development. The negative effects of childhood homelessness are clear, but I am specifically interested in identifying the effects of childhood poverty and homelessness, and attempting to understanding the specific effects of homelessness. This issue is important for a variety of reasons; of the approximately 320 million people living in the United States, 1.35 million of those are homeless children (Yu, 2008, p. 2). If we as a society are unable to understand homeless children, we will be unable to meet their needs. These consequences are specifically relevant for teachers and school practitioners, since the school system is one of the best places to help these children.

For the most part, it is extremely hard to access health care for the youth population because they face various restrictions. It is not surprising that many homeless adolescents do not have a way of seeking services even if they are the population that needs it the most. Homeless youth are at a higher risk of adverse outcomes such as not being able to further their education, getting incarcerated, developing a mental health disorder, and engaging in alcohol dependency and unsafe sexual behavior (Heinze & Jozefowicz-Simbeni, 2009). Children without a home are more prone to live in inconsistent and harsh living conditions categorized by family and school issues.
